Work
Across the energy chain
My working life has moved between ships, technical management, LNG, newbuilding and investment. Different postings, but largely the same question: how physical systems are built, operated and made economically useful.

Current work
Sonangol Trading and Shipping. Working on its newbuilding programme, including the company's next generation of LNG carriers being built in South Korea. It brings together much of what I have spent my career doing: marine engineering, technical management, newbuildings, and the work of turning a specification into a ship that can perform reliably in service.
