At Shell Oil Company, I managed more than 500 commercial credit lines with approval authority up to $10 million, using financial, cash flow, liquidity, leverage, and market analysis to set sound credit limits. I monitored exposures, managed collateral and debt recovery, and partnered with commercial, finance, treasury, and legal teams to support transactions.

Previously, I led counterparty credit evaluations at Sequent Energy Management Company and built AML, KYC, and due-diligence experience at Motiva Enterprises and BP. I bring hands-on credit portfolio management, process improvement, compliance, and stakeholder guidance across energy and trading environments.
