Dynamic project professional with 25 years of experience, passionate about driving results across all project phases—strategy, pursuit, tendering, and execution—with a strong and pragmatic “get-it-done” mindset.
I have gained well-rounded experience in offshore energy infrastructure construction projects through involvement in multiple EPCI/EPC/T&I projects, from R&D and engineering to commercial and full project delivery, serving in both Operator (Client) and Contractor roles across the North Sea, Mediterranean, and North Africa and West Africa regions.
My engineering education is complemented by an MBA, which broadened my strategic perspective and deepened my understanding of business dynamics, strengthening my overall professional experience.
Throughout my career, I have developed an international and multicultural mindset, coupled with strong collaborative and organizational skills. I effectively lead and coordinate globally distributed teams with a proactive, pragmatic approach focused on priorities and results.
