Lead the strategy, identification, and development of projects for a marine geophysical service company tackling hydrocarbon exploration via acquisition & multi-physics data integration services (CSEM-Seismic-Gravity).An international team member that hunted, engaged and delivered over 50 presentations in a 12-month timeframe to nudge technology adoption in the laggard upstream oil & gas industry, ensuring the consultative value proposition was communicated to senior-level decision-makers. Resulted in business growth and exploration workflow adoption within multiple countries at IOC’s/NOC’s, small and mid-sized explorers.Identified, navigated, and engineered client relationship(s) over multiple countries for project development efforts through initial interactions, bidding, permitting, operations planning, and contract negotiation. Coordinated projects and technical resources associated with the development of key opportunities to advance project development efforts and ensure highest technical quality of data/modelling and integrated solutions.Championed strategy at industry trade shows (SEG, EAGE, AAPG) through booth design, presentation content review, and delivery of high-impact technical talks, engaging general/specialized audiences on marine geophysics.

Collection of geophysical datasets (IP & MT) for mineral exploration.Client field programs with BHP, Newcrest, South32, Evolution Mining & others.

Commercial & technical leadership of Paradigm’s geoscience software (SaaS) & services business within Australia & New Zealand to oil & gas explorers. Influenced sales and marketing strategies within a geographically dispersed team which accelerated the win-rate of service contracts via strategic client mapping and creative solution selling. Leveraged technical geoscience expertise; networked and built industry relationships increasing awareness of solutions. Effort resulted in prequalification approval from multiple operators and increased RFP/ITB’s.Explored and quantified technical details of client challenges for a variety of geoscience and development workflows. Translated this knowledge internally for product mapping and marketing strategy development.Direction of awarded projects assuring timely and high-quality deliverables. Ensured minimized scope creep or appropriate change control mechanisms in place, significantly reducing non-productive time.

Identified opportunities and defined technical specifications for marine geophysical surveys, ensuring value proposition, risk quantification and technical needs of clients are met. Responsible for coordinating geology & geophysics support associated with development of key opportunities.

Technical advisor for geophysical data integration workflows and associated answer product solutions. Presented geophysical papers at trade shows and synchronized RFP/tender preparations across a matrix organization to increase geophysical technology awareness and proposal/tender win-rate within the Asia-Pac.Engaged with customers, managed client relationships, and capitalized on strategy resulting in increased opportunity pipeline through further understanding of client challenges, operations best practice, and competitive landscape which improved sales reporting accuracy and expanded the customer base.Contract/project management, refocusing communication between technical domain experts to improve deliverables within scope, time, and budget maintaining highest quality and HSE objectives for deliverables. Mentored junior technical staff on multi-physics geophysical integration methods and resulting increase in subsurface understanding across the Asia-Pacific reinforcing continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, cultural awareness, and technical excellence.

Project leader for execution of geophysical modelling for Middle Eastern carbonate reservoir characterization methods with strategic NOC partnership. Delivered on time multiple publications, IP submissions, and project stage-gate approval which secured 2nd phase partner research commitment and funding.Acquisition, in-field QC/troubleshooting, data processing, and reporting of geophysical datasets.

R&D/engineering of surface & wellbore geophysical technology leading to multiple IP submissions focusing on subsurface resistivity characterization for industry applications of EM geophysics in oil & gas, geothermal, and minerals.Field deployment and data processing of experimental geophysics toolset in controlled and commercial conditions.Led MATLAB development of sensitivity analysis & modeling workflow for EM borehole applications, resulting in accurate and efficient geophysical scenario assessment.

Onsite manager and experiment leader for the Planetary Aeolian Facility including the Mars Wind Tunnel which was successfully employed for experimental calibration of Martian rover surface instrumentation.Supported experimental research effort and funding submissions for Arizona State Univ. planetary geology group.Hosted/mentored 6 summer internships in planetary geoscience.Orchestrated facility and logistics for an international conference of experts in planetary science.

Internship at JPL focusing on the analysis of Mars Pathfinder data investigating aeolian surface processes.

Internship in which I focused on the geophysical characterization of the Lake Superior basin sediments.
