About me
I bring together commercial leadership, scientific expertise, and institution-building experience to create sustainable growth across energy and industrial markets.
Professional biography
Over an 18+ year career, I have progressed from hands-on petroleum engineering research to enterprise leadership—without losing the technical curiosity that distinguishes my work. I understand how technologies perform in the field, how organizations deliver at scale, and how executive decisions translate into commercial outcomes.
Today, as Vice President at Tridiagonal Solutions FZCO, I advance strategic accounts and transformation initiatives across the Middle East, North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia-Pacific. My work spans opportunity creation, executive relationships, industrial AI, consulting, and the commercialization of research and engineering capabilities.
Earlier, I built consulting and research centres, launched new service lines, developed industry-academic partnerships, and led programs in flow assurance, production optimization, enhanced oil recovery, carbon capture, and digital transformation. Across my career, I have delivered consulting, engineering, and technology solutions in more than 20 countries.
A Stanford LEAD alumnus with a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering, I am also a published author and inventor. My research record includes more than 20 peer-reviewed publications and technical presentations, 700+ scholarly citations, a granted design patent, and a technology patent application.
