About

I am an experienced risk, process safety, and EHS professional with 25+ years across oil & gas, petrochemical, and process industries. Strong leadership capability with a track record of managing and developing teams, facilitating technical safety workshops, and improving management systems. Experienced in QRA/BRA, Safety Case/HSE Case development, COMAH, audits, ALARP demonstrations, and training development/delivery, including teaching MSc-level modules.

International exposure through roles in the UK, Dubai, and Malaysia. I have recently been working with some HF specific projects although it is evident that HF is embedded into all aspects of safety and operational tasks.
