Olga Lakley

Highly experienced Occupational Health and Safety practitioner, with nearly 22 years in the Oil and gas industry, with a focus on environmental health and safety. From working in remote locations such as Kome in Chad on the Exxonmobil project for over 10 years, to implementing Company HSE management system in various locations in Sub-Saharan Africa, I bring the perfect blend of competency in managing people and operations. I am dedicated, result-oriented and always ready for a challenge.

My personal inclinations are towards training, coaching and mentoring and auditing. I made part of the Corporate audit team and facilitator team during the last 10 years of my employment. Being multi-cultural myself, I embrace diversity of cultures and always look forward to learning from others.

My passion is to transfer my knowledge for the development of Africa, leading the younger generation to success.
