At Black & Veatch, I lead gas utility asset investment planning engagements from stakeholder workshops and requirements through testing, training, and go-live. For a large Southeastern Gas Utility, I led delivery of a gas value framework and configured nine value models to support consistent capital planning.

I directed UAT and workflow validation, then trained about 100 users and guided change management. The implementation was delivered on time and on budget, and executive commitment to use the platform for annual capital planning led to an ongoing support engagement.

For a major North American Pipeline Operator, I served as SME Lead across three sectors and authored a 22-item gap assessment. I also rebuilt an undocumented valuation model into a traceable 19-tab specification for the client and delivery teams.

Before Black & Veatch, I held engineering and asset management roles at National Grid. As Lead Engineer, I owned planning and governance for a $15M-a-year capital portfolio across 250 to 400 regulator stations, and used Synergi Pipeline analysis to inform long-term system strategy.
