Twenty years building institutions across the GCC's most demanding energy markets — ADNOC, Aramco, QatarEnergy — produces something that cannot be fast-tracked.
I turn complex, underperforming operations into institutional-grade enterprises that are scalable, governable and exit-ready.
I lead large-scale, asset-intensive businesses where technical complexity meets boardroom accountability. As a former ELT member at Fugro NV, I directed a US$350M P&L across 20 countries, doubled regional revenue in under three years and commercialised the GCC's first AI-driven autonomous vessel fleet — cutting operational expenditure by 25%. My career has been defined by a single discipline: building the governance architecture, financial rigour and leadership culture that transforms operating companies into institutional-grade platforms ready for the next stage of growth, investment or exit.
Executives who combine this depth of sovereign-market access, proven P&L transformation and hands-on AI commercialisation at scale are exceptionally rare. For the right organisation — one that needs a leader who has already navigated exactly this terrain — the fit is immediate.

Commercial & Capital DisciplineEvery strategic decision begins with one question: does this create margin or destroy it? I bring the rigour of a disciplined capital allocator to every level of the operating model — from boardroom strategy through to contract-level execution.
AI-Enabled Operating Model TransformationI integrate AI and digital capability to create structural commercial advantage — not as a technology initiative, but as an operating model shift that delivers leaner, faster enterprises built to scale without proportional cost growth.
Governance That Unlocks CapitalI have built and chaired governance frameworks across GCC sovereign institutions and European multi-country portfolios. Done well, governance gives investors, partners and family offices the confidence to commit capital and trust leadership.
Sovereign & Institutional Market AccessDirect board-level relationships across ADNOC, Aramco and QatarEnergy, combined with 13-market European portfolio experience. These relationships, governance credentials and cross-cultural credibility travel well beyond any single region.
High-Performance Culture at Scale2,250 people across 20 countries through a major transformation — with attrition below 3.5% and a 70-point eNPS uplift. People perform when they understand the strategy, trust the leadership and feel accountable for the outcome.
