  CAREER: My key achievementsare listed here below: • Design of a Maintenance Scheduling and Lubricating Tool for a Power Station when I was the “Offshore and Industrial Manager” for Bureau Veritas in Dubai. This opportunity formed the basis and opportunity for the growth of the department within the organization which, until my arrival, had not existed. Turnover for the first year in operation was in excess of 1.75 million Dollars with an overall profit of 16%. After 5 years of continuous growth and the employment of some 15 Surveyors, the annual turnover was in excess of 3 Million Dollars. This is made more remarkable by the fact that the profit margin was steady at 16% throughout that time when all other departments, other than” Marine”, were operating at a loss. • At the behest of the Yemen Economic Corporation, I project managed a Tank Landing Craft Rebuild and Conversion Project in Dubai Dry-Dock to its completion and sail away. During that time, I acted as Advisor to the Vice president of the Yemen and on their behalf, successfully brokered a 16 million dollar purchase of 2 nos. Multi-Purpose Cargo Carriers from ‘Trogir’ Shipyard. This was quite an achievement since I had no previous experience with the sale and purchase of ships before. • During the Rebuild of the jack-Up Rig “ Thule Power” project, we were challenged many times with situations that had never been overcome in the UAE. One such challenge was to launch the Rig back into the water weighing 4,500 tons. The added challenge was to do this without damaging the Quayside whose load bearing capacity was barely 15 tons per square foot. A coordinated effort by the QGM team ensured that this transition took place without incident. • Managing a project on a Brown field site on the Caspian Sea Coast for the repair and upgrade of a Jack-Up Rig “Iran Khazar” which had suffered a major Punch Through was something that no other company in the Middle East was prepared to undertake. • Having spent most of my professional life in a Multi-cultural environment, I believe that my inter-personnel skills are such that I am not fazed by the challenge of a varied cultural environment in which I may operate.
