“Having spent over 30 years in the international oil & gas industry, I consider it a privilege to share the knowledge, skills and experiences I have acquired with the next generation of professionals in this field. Throughout my career I have found great satisfaction in mentoring and coaching team members, both within and outside of my immediate teams. As a trainer at MDT I am able to continue this rewarding journey.”
My extensive career includes 23 years with ConocoPhillips, during which I worked in various countries such as the UK, Poland, Vietnam, Indonesia, the US, and Nigeria. Additionally, my 9 years at Capricorn Energy plc provided me with opportunities to work in Morocco, Spain, Norway, Senegal, Mexico, and Egypt.
My expertise covers both the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry. While my focus has primarily been on operational areas, I have also gained valuable experience in corporate reporting and planning at downstream and upstream headquarters in the UK and the US respectively.
Outside of work I enjoy travelling, photography, music, reading, house renovating projects and learning Spanish. I am also the Chair and Treasurer of Scottish Huntington’s Association - a registered charity located in Scotland that supports families impacted by the degenerative brain condition Huntington's disease.
