About

I have held various Technical and Management positions in MNC and SME throughout my 40-year career in the Oil and Gas industry. Came to realize that change is the only constant i.e. past success does not guarantee the future be it corporate or personal life. Being an objective person, I am a realist and believed that empowered people can achieve a lot for themselves and generate great value for their employer and stakeholders. I'm empowered.
