This required me to coordinate and distill information from multiple sources into a bid that matches internal and external expectations. Given the high value and long maturity of service contracts, my skills in statistical risk analysis and a high attention to detail were invaluable. In addition to my primary tasks, I have also worked on the development of new service products, improved weather modeling tools and the composition and negotiation of new contract schedules.

I also supported the R7 product review which aimed to ensure product quality. These tasks required a high level of cultural awareness and perseverance, while further improving my knowledge of quality systems and planning skills.
