My proven track record includes successfully delivering complex District Energy and heavy industrial projects valued up to USD3 billion. I excel in leading feasibility studies, design development, contract negotiations, and early-phase planning for high-value public infrastructure projects.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to navigate ambiguity, resolve blockers, and align cross-functional teams under high-pressure conditions. I am adept at driving business growth, managing project portfolios, and optimizing resource allocation for large-scale projects. My core competencies include risk management, stakeholder management, and quality assurance, which I leverage to ensure project success and sustainability.
