Advancing Excellence Across Energy, Infrastructure & Defence

About

I’m a strategic, operational and commercially minded executive with a background spanning energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, and defence. Over my career, I’ve led business units, served on influential boards, and helped global organisations deliver engineering design, asset integrity, and sustainable energy solutions.My focus is on unlocking value, growing revenue, aligning cross-functional teams, and ensuring quality, safety, and compliance in high-stakes, regulated environments.I combine hands-on leadership with deep technical and legal insight, supported by qualifications in electrical engineering (MSc, B.Eng Hons), business (MBA), and construction law (LLM). This multidisciplinary perspective allows me to navigate complexity and lead transformative outcomes.I'm always open to conversations with forward-thinking organisations looking to innovate, grow, and lead responsibly.Let’s connect.

Resume & Case Studies

Throughout my career, I have developed and curated a series of case studies that reflect key appointments, sector engagements, and professional milestones. Originally created to support my ongoing commitment to professional development and maintain membership with leading engineering institutions, these case studies now serve as a transparent record of outcomes achieved in complex, high-stakes environments.Each success or sector focus captured in these case studies is the result of collaborative effort, delivered through strong team dynamics, client partnership, and purposeful leadership. I take pride in the collective achievements of the teams I’ve led and remain grateful for their cooperation, guidance and the support of my peers and colleagues who have contributed greatly to my professional journey.
