About

Strategic and results-oriented Project Leader with 20+ years of international experience delivering complex oil & gas and infrastructure projects across 10 countries. I specialize in aligning multi-cultural, cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and contractors to execute high-value capital projects safely, on time, and on budget. With deep expertise in project execution, constructability, AWP, systems completions, and team leadership, I’ve consistently delivered in challenging environments—turning around distressed projects and driving high-performance cultures. Currently leading full-site delivery of a major gas processing facility in Iraq, I’m now focused on progressing into a more senior project role to lead large-scale projects and programs and shape strategic delivery from initiation to closeout. 🔹 Strategic Site Leadership | Global Project Execution | Stakeholder Alignment 🔹 PMP® Certified | MSc Project & Programme Management | BSc Construction Management 🔹 Known for execution certainty, team development, and delivering under pressure
