I trained as a geologist and seismic interpreter and now specialise in all aspects of early stage exploration; identifying, evaluating, negotiating and managing new projects, portfolio management and work program execution. I have successfully worked closely with commercial and financial colleagues and senior management to ensure the deal is right for the company and that all risks (technical and non-technical) are clearly understood. I also have skills in exploration team building and technical quality assurance (from early Project Planning through to After Action Reviews) and can mentor junior staff and design and facilitate a QC process on all stages of the exploration timeline.My areas of recent expertise include Europe, Circum-Mediterranean and Sub-Saharan Africa although historically I have also worked in the Levant, other parts of the Middle East and much of the North Sea, West of Shetlands and Scandinavia.
