About
I’m a results-driven VP of Operations with over 30 years of hands-on leadership in global upstream energy projects across Canada, the Permian Basin, and West Africa. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in well engineering, drilling optimization, and HSE excellence—leading teams through high-stakes operations both onshore and offshore. One of my proudest achievements was leading the first stacked multi-lateral underbalanced intersecting well in the Permian Basin—an industry milestone that reflects my passion for innovation, technical depth, and operational strategy. What sets me apart is my ability to align field execution with business objectives. I’ve consistently delivered cost reductions, improved safety metrics, and faster project turnarounds by empowering cross-functional teams, implementing new technologies, and mentoring future leaders. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about advancing responsible energy operations, building resilient teams, or exploring strategic growth in complex drilling environments.
