Project and Committee Manager delivering global executive support, streamlined operations, and stakeholder collaboration.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Project and Committee Manager with global exposure across industries including energy and transportation, known for delivering exceptional executive support and streamlining complex operations. I thrive under pressure, act as a natural problem-solver, and bring clarity to fast-moving, high-stakes corporate environments.
Since 2020, I’ve supported IOGP’s global committees and leadership teams with operational, strategic, and administrative leadership—managing complex budgets, driving industry-wide initiatives, and improving safety, sustainability, and performance outcomes. In recent roles, I’ve led training rollouts, revamped internal communication frameworks, and built collaboration structures that boosted engagement and productivity.
I also strengthen work quality through digital platforms and content: I re-energize and centralize SharePoint and website resources, manage RFPs and contractor workflows, and create meeting, agenda, and stakeholder engagement systems. Whether coordinating major events in Europe or upgrading training and onboarding processes, my focus is always the same: empower teams, improve workflows, and deliver measurable impact.
