Message

I've led project controls and planning for Genpact and GE Vernova across multi-country European portfolios, consolidating schedules, resources, costs, revenue forecasts, risks, and actions for senior delivery decisions. I bring more than 20 years of experience across offshore, energy, engineering, and construction environments.

I build practical governance through Primavera P6 standards, schedule assurance, earned value management, bid and gate reviews, and capability development. Earlier, I reduced a strip, clean and inspect phase by 40% at OneSubsea while coordinating complex aftermarket equipment scopes.
