Most consultants advise on refineries. I have operated inside them. Ten years on the refinery floor at Reliance Industries Jamnagar - the world's largest refining complex gives me a perspective that no MBA programme teaches. I know where the hidden problems are that NOCs do not share with their consultants, because I used to be one of those problems. ───────────────────── $120M+ in investment decisions structured $100M+ in O&M savings identified $30M in reliability value delivered ───────────────────── 14 years across operational leadership and strategic advisory in downstream O&G. Client mandates delivered through McKinsey, Kearney, and Oliver Wyman for Saudi Aramco (Ras Tanura), ADNOC (Ruwais), OQ (Sohar), Nayara Energy, and Indian PSUs. ❝ Excellence-grade delivery - invited to continue as preferred advisor on future refinery mandates. ❞ — Partner, Kearney Dubai (ADNOC engagement) ───────────────────── As NOCs transition from volume maximisation to value optimisation, the $2Tn+ of stranded capex risk in GCC downstream assets represents the defining strategic challenge of the next decade. I am documenting this argument in: Unlocking Value in Downstream Oil & Gas: Best Practices for Refinery Strategy, Capital Allocation and NOC Advisory. ───────────────────── What I do for clients — Refinery benchmarking and O&M cost reduction for NOC and IOC boards — Capital allocation frameworks under energy transition pressure — Multi-modal petroleum logistics transformation — Predictive asset reliability and capex governance — EV transition and demand disruption scenario modelling ───────────────────── I speak two languages that usually get lost in translation: the boardroom and the refinery floor. Open to senior advisory mandates, co-delivery engagements with Tier-1 energy practices, and conversations with consulting leaders building downstream NOC capability.
