I've spent seven years in various planning roles at MOL Group, a complex regional refiner with multiple refineries and petrochemical plants, where I had the opportunity to encounter a wide range of planning scenarios, gained a solid technical knowledge of refining technology and LP optimisation, and had a strong exposure to decision making support in decisions regarding investments of various sizes and operational solutions.After MOL Group, I spent four years at AspenTech, the world’s largest refinery optimisation software company. During the two years spent in training and technical support, I gained even more exposure to various refinery planning models and modelling problems, and successfully delivered all levels of refinery LP training to 150 individuals from 35 companies and 25 countries. The next two years working as a Customer Success Manager meant further client engagement on projects, focusing on value creation to customers, helping customer management to improve their businesses’ bottom line as well as holding deep-dive technical workshops to their analysts, while leveraging own project and people management skills. These two years allowed me to further enhance my strategical and commercial thinking while working alongside senior sales experts in creating commercial strategies for major customers.My extensive knowledge gained over the years has consistently been recognised and appreciated both by peers and clients. Solid knowledge, together with my wide-reaching, strategic and bold thinking as well as my perseverance can often result in out-of-the-box solutions, which can potentially bring high additional value to customers.Deep understanding of linear programming optimisation techniques together with a vast experience in refinery planning model maintenance, model review and model support means confident resolution of technical hurdles in modelling and creation of solutions that can stand the test of time and of different applications.Strategic mindset enables me to recognise strengths, weaknesses as well as future opportunities and risks, whether providing advice on future actions or devising and building a system for a client.
