About

I am a seasoned senior-level leader with an extensive background in commercial and marine technical operations. Over the course of my career, I have honed my leadership skills, overseeing large teams and critical operations. My role as a trusted advisor to management for marine operations in the development of Guyana's oil and gas fields showcases my ability to deliver value in one of the biggest projects worldwide. In this capacity, I led a team of individuals, ensuring compliance with project requirements, marine vetting and day-to-day operations. Additionally, I spearheaded initiatives in technology, leveraging innovations such as drones and ship-to-shore solutions. By fostering synergies with various business units, including subsea and procurement, I approached each endeavor with a client-centric focus to maximize value. As a further result of my work not only have, I established myself with a technical and business and acumen, but I also mentor by lecturing in the French Petroleum Institute (IFP school).
