SUMMARY:
I am a demonstrably effective manager with a “hands-on” style who enjoys delivering results. An
effective organiser and team player with good business, commercial and technical skills. I have good
communication and leadership skills and am able to build effective and successful working relationships
with the team.
My experience has been gained across the spectrum of the Oil and Gas industry with a range of small to
medium sized E&P companies as well as Engineering Contractors. It encompasses oil and gas field
business opportunity development and technical development through all phases from Appraise to
Execute with readiness and hand over to operations. I have a sound understanding of subsurface
requirements, a wide range of facilities multi-discipline engineering and risk management skills, am
technically strong with experienced in onshore and offshore manned and unmanned projects in UK. I
have also many years experience in providing development solutions in the UK SNS and internationally
