United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Business Development Manager with deep experience in oil and gas–adjacent industrial work, where I generate and qualify business opportunities and translate them into clear, approval-ready proposals. At Air Liquide, I manage hydrogen membranes business opportunities, develop and present project proposals aligned to customer expectations and business objectives, and lead contract drafting and negotiations.
Previously at Honeywell International Inc, I advanced from Project Engineer to Senior Project Manager, owning project delivery and schedule performance by identifying and minimizing risk through structured strategies. I also strengthened stakeholder visibility by building metrics in Tableau & SAP, and I served as a Proposal Project Manager supporting proposal quality, completion, and delivery time through cross-functional coordination.
I bring an analytical, communication-driven approach grounded in a PhD in Chemical Engineering and supported by certifications including Project Management Professional (PMP) and Engineer in Training (EIT). I also contribute to professional communities through leadership roles and participation in ISA 84.00.07 and CCPS initiatives focused on safety and process effectiveness.
