Incorporating the expertise gained streamlining economic direction at Shell, I was selected to lead Addax in steering the vast financial spectrum of its oil and gas agenda. My ability to forecast, pen frugal budgets, and compile accurate reporting have better aligned the company’s presence in Gabon with modern goals and expectations in the field.Furthermore, tasked with utilising Addax’s database to supplement my approach, I crafted and delivered a stellar Excel-based economic model that allowed me to systematise and interpret information to better suit my goals, and more efficiently employ this information in making critical monetary decisions.The following are a few examples of the crucial contributions I’ve made thus far:★ I sought out and achieved a license extension that resulted in a $200M increase in company value.★ My original data management model helped me to grow the capital constraint environment by 20%.★ Emboldened Risk Management department to more accurately predict and preempt perils with original assessment model.

I personally mastered and maintained the company’s internal risk matrix, poising it against company operations to search for problem areas and coin strategies to better identify and plug gaps – updating and improving the system as I go. Some of the notable achievements I garnered throughout my stint include:★ Clearing balance sheets to identify $102M in bad debt★ Recovering $35M historical receivables by examining JV partner accounts★ Successfully defending against a total of $250M in tax penalties

Having built an unparalleled reputation for efficient cost control, I moved to provide oversight for operated & non-operated ventures, performing pertinent cash call functions, as well as JV & PSC audit governance. I developed a superior template for delivering on PSC accounting duties and administered the clearance of our audit backlog. Let’s look at some of my proudest moments serving under this role:★ My work on operated ventures enabled a 10% revenue boost for the department★ Meanwhile, I was able to deftly generate, through my work on non-operated ventures, $50M in audit exceptions★ Improving cash calls, I gave rise to a 5% increase in company cash★ Finally, my expertise on the JV audit process brought about $130M in savings

Learning the company from the inside out equipped me to achieve rapid growth in Shell. From my newly earned position, I leveraged three years’ experience to inspire profitable interrelations between subsidiary groups, providing deep financial analysis and guidance over this far-reaching breadth of operations.Additionally, I took it upon myself to interpret and report on established working budgets, ensuring they align with our regional business goals and defending allocations to executives.Here’s just a few of my successes during this time:★ Interfaced with Nigerian authorities to navigate a $25M, or 2%, decrease in disputed costs★ Finalised a budget-release process overhaul a full 10 days early, $15M under budget

I began my career with Shell from the deep end, immediately making significant contributions to their Gabon-based activities with financial support. I worked with sizeable budgets to map necessary costs, curb losses, and safeguard our objectives. I worked directly with company partners, performed variance analysis, and reported on both capital expenditure and depreciation.The following are early actions that positively effected the direction of the company:★ My unrivalled cost management quickly saved us 10% on previously established expenses★ I uplifted consolidated free cash flow with tax optimization, raising benefit by $5M
