Executive COO and Safety & Risk Strategist delivering zero-incident operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Chief Operating Officer and Safety & Risk Strategist with 7+ years driving operational excellence and high-value project delivery across high-risk sectors, including EPC, Oil & Gas, Mining, Manufacturing, and FinTech. I focus on scaling organizations, strengthening governance, and embedding HSE frameworks that consistently target zero-incident milestones.
Across roles from Chief Operating Officer to HSE Manager and HSE Coordinator, I’ve aligned cross-functional teams and external partners to remove operational friction, improve compliance outcomes, and protect project timelines. I’ve authored JSA, Method Statements, and Permit-to-Work (PTW) frameworks, led ISO audit readiness, and standardized safety accountability across sites.
I bring strong process discipline through Lean Six Sigma—eliminating waste, optimizing supply chains, and improving performance. Notable results include growing headcount from 30 to 150+ and boosting revenue by 150%, while also saving $500,000 annually and cutting operational waste by 30%; I’ve also maintained zero LTIs and a zero-incident environment across concurrent sub-projects.
