Experience

Commercial & Contracts Director with 22+ years of international leadership across infrastructure, energy, renewables, offshore, oil & gas, utilities and real estate developments, managing multi-project portfolios exceeding USD 15B across EMEA, APAC and the Americas.

I build commercial governance for scale, protect P&L, and turn risk into predictable outcomes across EPC portfolios.
Specialist in procurement strategy, claims prevention, dispute readiness and contract governance.

I specialize in commercial governance of complex EPC and FEED environments, structuring and administering contractual frameworks such as FIDIC, NEC, BIMCO, LOGIC, PPA and bespoke forms, with deep hands-on experience in claims, variations, dispute avoidance and procurement strategy.

My background combines P&L ownership, capital and operational budgeting, master planning support, and commercial input to mixed-use and retail assets, ensuring alignment between risk allocation, bankability and delivery outcomes. I regularly operate at board and executive committee level, advising clients, lenders and JV partners on entitlement strategy, commercial risk and decision-making under pressure.

I am known for building robust commercial functions, leading multidisciplinary teams across engineering, construction, project controls, legal and finance, and for transforming contracts from static documents into living governance and decision-making tools that protect value and enable delivery certainty.
