KAYODE FOLAJIN
@kayodefolajin
Senior HSE advisor transitioning from pharmaceutical leadership to oil & gas sales, driving compliance, zero-harm culture, partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I bring 12+ years of cross-functional leadership, moving from pharmaceutical sales and regulatory work into oil & gas. I’m known for consultative selling, contract negotiations, and aligning multi-stakeholder teams while keeping compliance and safety at the center of every decision.
In my current role as a Senior Health Safety Environment Advisor, I develop and continuously improve Health, Safety, and Environmental management systems aligned with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001. I lead risk assessments, hazard identification, audits and safety walks, and advise project and operational teams on safe systems of work, method statements, and permit-to-work processes.
I also investigate incidents, accidents, and near-misses using root-cause analysis techniques, then drive corrective and preventive actions to prevent recurrence. I strengthen capability through HSE training, toolbox talks, inductions, and coaching—supported by measurable results (including reducing risk by 35%, training two teams on fire safety, and growing key accounts by 17%), and ongoing incident investigation and root-cause analysis training.
