@rishiraj5
I grow GCC oilfield equipment business through technical sales, tenders, and drilling-contractor relationships.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently managing ARAMCO-linked API 6D, 6A, 16C, 7-1, 5CT and 5B business with drilling contractors at ITAG Gulf International, driving GCC expansion, tenders and contract negotiations.
I've grown annual sales to 16 million SAR through drilling-contractor engagement and product positioning, while coordinating manufacturing and engineering teams to deliver against technical and contractual requirements.
At NOV, I secured a $3 million contract through technical proposal development, client relationships and technical value propositions for drilling and wellhead equipment. Earlier at MTQ Oilfield Services, I doubled monthly sales revenue from $500,000 to $1 million.
Across more than 20 years in oil and gas, I have built a technical sales foundation in wellhead control systems, valves, flowline equipment, API scopes, tenders, pricing and delivery coordination across Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar.
