SUMMARY

I have nearly 9 years of experience working in the Oil and Gas industry in varied roles, notably in project

management, engineering and procurement functions, and hold a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from

the American University of Sharjah.

Throughout my career, I have worked in multi-faceted and multi-cultural teams in executing various projects

while working with responsibilities above and beyond the job description. In my first job, the responsibility for the

procurement and delivery of valves worth approximately USD 800 million to Saudi Aramco for the Shaybah

Central Processing Facilities project was assigned to me within 6 months of joining. More recently, I was

assigned as package manager during my tenure in Weatherford International for Firewater Pumps and Potable

Water Production system to resolve all engineering and contractual issues, after originally joining as a

mechanical engineer. During the last assignment, I was involved in the planning of nearly 40 projects that were

slated for execution by Zakum Development Company (ZADCO).
