My Expertise

Leadership That Gets
Things Done

Coordinating teams, managing projects efficiently, and ensuring goals are achieved with precision and purpose.

Market Intelligence & Commercial Strategy

96%

I don't just follow the market — I study it. At both April-Oil and Sadel, I designed and executed market intelligence systems that tracked competitor activity, identified shifts in demand, and informed pricing decisions. I also apply the SPANCO Model to pinpoint high-value contract opportunities before the competition does. At Sadel, this thinking was the backbone of a 5-year growth plan I developed and drove.

Key Account & Relationship Management

93%

Over 10 years in the downstream petroleum sector, I've built and sustained relationships that actually move business forward. From managing lubricant distribution networks to securing bulk fuel supply contracts and handling credit recovery from corporate accounts — I know how to earn trust at the executive level and keep it.

Business Development Execution

80%

I deliver results, not just plans. At April-Oil, I recruited and operationalized 5 retail outlets across multiple regions in under six months, expanded lubricant presence into workshops and partner stations, and led commercial negotiations that balanced competitiveness with margin protection. When I take on a market, I build in it.
