Develop and expand solar projects across multiple global markets, including USA, Europe and Balkans, driving renewable energy opportunities through market origination and strategic business development. Lead full project lifecycle from origination to financial closure, managing teams, permits, interconnection, investor agreements, and implementing best business practices. Oversee contract negotiation, financial and legal analysis, technical oversight, team leadership, portfolio diversification, investor relations, CRM implementation, and targeted land campaigns.

Team and Technical Exploration Leader at ENI Cyprus Managed offshore projects from identification to execution, leading multidisciplinary teams. Technical lead for the Cronos discovery, drilled and confirmed 3 TCF gas in place. Conducted regional seismo-stratigraphic analysis, prospect generation, and resource evaluation across multiple Cyprus EEZ blocks, including studies extending to Zohr. Led data room preparation and successful farm-out negotiations with major operators, successfully closing with Total Energies. Mentored and managed geoscientists, fostering technical excellence and team growth.

I have been part of the multidisciplinary subsurface and operational team for the Baobab infill development, contributing through wellsite geology on complex long-reach horizontal wells, geological modelling, 3D/4D seismic interpretation, and drilling optimisation. I have also led a multidisciplinary team for near-field exploration in Espoir, helping advance opportunities from evaluation through to execution. My experience includes full-field geomodelling, prospect maturation, and operational geology, working closely with drilling, reservoir, petrophysics, and process engineering teams.

Completed Graduate Geoscientist program which involved rotation in different disciplines. The Disciplines include Geophysics, Petrophysics, Development Geology, Operations Geology, Wellsite Geology and Exploration Geology.

Assessed Paleocene prospectivity over Ninian. Work included, well correlation, seismic interpretation and velocity modelling for depth conversion. Attribute analysis and rock physics modelling. AVO analysis. Calculation of volumetrics and risking.

Cooperation with a petroleum engineer to calculate reserves in a chosen field offshore Cyprus within the Levantine basin. The project involved the study of seismic data and calculation of reserves for potential petroleum plays. It involved integration and interpretation of seismic, wireline and core data to assess reserves. Further studies involved tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of Eratosthenes seamount and potential petroleum plays at it's margins.

Understanding subsurface geology of Eastern Mediterranean, offshore Cyprus and developing a basic understanding of the petroleum systems. Seismic interpretation of selected areas offshore Cyprus and attending meetings with Noble energy team in charge of Block 12 (Aphrodite) concerning location of drilling well and completion. Studying of environmental analysis reports developed by PGS.
