Executive operations and marine support leader who drives $50M+ contracts and safe, efficient offshore delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m an executive operations and marine support leader with over 22 years’ experience driving growth in the oil and gas and telecommunications industries. I specialize in marine support services and operations management, with a proven edge in securing high-value contracts for offshore delivery.
As Chief Operating Officer, I implemented risk management strategies that enhanced project delivery and client satisfaction across global operations. Previously, I led sales, profitability, and cash flow initiatives, while overseeing marine support operations to ensure seamless execution of offshore projects for major energy clients.
I’ve delivered over $50M in deals and built strategic partnerships with global energy leaders. I secured $50M+ in contracts for marine vessel leases and ultrasonic flowmeter supply—supporting offshore drilling for Shell, Chevron, and Agip—while reducing operational downtime by 20% through streamlined subcontractor management across 10+ global projects.
I’m relentless about safety and performance: I achieved 100% safety compliance by enforcing rigorous oversight and meeting stringent offshore regulatory standards. As a passionate team builder, I lead cross-functional teams to improve delivery timelines by 25%, expand client portfolios to drive 15% revenue growth, and protect client satisfaction through operational excellence.
