Description

I help energy and industrial companies design and deliver digital transformation programmes from AI strategy through full operational adoption, with proven results across Shell, BP, Eni, and other major IOCs.

With 25+ years leading global transformation programmes for Halliburton, SLB, and major international oil companies, I specialise in turning ambitious digital strategies into operational reality.

At Halliburton, I managed a $100M+ regional digital services portfolio across Europe, Eurasia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, driving operational efficiency gains while ensuring adoption across diverse teams and cultures. At SLB, I spent 11 years delivering technology and data solutions across four continents, building deep relationships with IOCs and national oil companies alike.

Typical engagements include:

AI and digital transformation roadmaps for upstream operators
Cloud migration and enterprise data strategy, including OSDU alignment
PMO design and turnaround for stalled or complex global programmes
Operational efficiency improvement through digital adoption and change management

AI governance frameworks and responsible AI implementation for energy companies

Recently certified in AI (Imperial College London) and AWS Cloud, I combine strategic advisory with current technical depth. Fluent in English and Spanish, with French and Italian proficiency, I work seamlessly across multicultural environments.

Whether you need a strategic advisor for a transformation roadmap or a hands-on programme leader to rescue a stalled initiative, I deliver results from day one. Let's talk.
