With a robust multidisciplinary background in electrical and mechanical engineering, I deliver comprehensive execution, commissioning, and operational lifecycle management for some of the most demanding energy facilities globally.

My career spans over 25 years in the global energy sector, transitioning from hands-on field engineering to top-tier managerial roles. I specialize in the complete lifecycle of mega-projects—from the initial Project feed stage and strategic planning, through intense mechanical commissioning, to final handover and commercial operation.

I have successfully overseen and directed the execution of massive energy infrastructures, including managing project scales of up to $450M. My operational philosophy is built on three uncompromising pillars: rigorous commercial and budget management, strict adherence to HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) protocols, and the seamless integration of cross-functional, international teams to deliver critical assets on schedule.

Proven expertise in:

  • Advanced Power Generation: Deep technical authority in the installation, commissioning, and site management of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCGT), alongside heavy-duty Gas and Steam Turbines.

  • Renewables & Energy Storage: Extensive track record in managing the deployment of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Thermo-Solar (CSP), and large-scale Solar PV Greenfield projects.

  • High-Voltage Infrastructure: Expert oversight of electrical BOP, GIS installations, and high-voltage substation commissioning, ensuring absolute grid compliance.

  • Site & Asset Management: End-to-end P&L management, resource allocation, and operational maintenance (O&M) strategy, resolving complex engineering bottlenecks in real-time.

  • Global Leadership: Proven ability to lead multi-national teams and navigate complex regulatory environments across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.








Professional Experience:

  • Commissioning & EPC Consultancy: Serving as a primary technical authority for global energy OEMs, monitoring TTA (Turnaround Time) and punch-list activities, and ensuring precision in turbine installations.

  • Operations & Integration: Leading operational departments for autonomous concepts and renewable energy startups, driving the definition, creation, and site-testing of core operational procedures.

  • Vendor & Subcontractor Governance: Directing hundreds of personnel on-site, negotiating with key suppliers, and maintaining strict quality control over complex mechanical and electrical fabrications.
