I work at the intersection of industrial strategy, localization, and national economic transformation.

My focus is on helping governments, sovereign investors, and large industrial players move beyond localization targets toward the deliberate building of industrial capability. This includes the institutions, supplier ecosystems, skills, and platforms required to sustain competitive industries over time.

Over the past two decades, I have designed and led economic development strategies and implementation programs across energy, advanced industries, healthcare, tourism and resource based sectors. My work spans the full arc from policy and strategy through to execution on the ground.

This includes the design of localization and industrialization frameworks, supplier and SME development programs, capability and value chain diagnostics, investment attraction, institutional and governance models, and mechanisms for technology transfer and investment attraction.

I have worked extensively with national oil companies, state owned enterprises, ministries, regulators, and development institutions. Much of this work has taken place in the context of large scale industrial programs and complex projects where outcomes depend less on individual initiatives and more on system coherence.

Geographically, my experience covers more than 30 countries across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean. Across these contexts, a consistent theme in my work has been the transition from volume driven localization toward capability dense industrial ecosystems that can compete globally.

Today, my work is increasingly focused on shaping next generation localization and industrial strategies in the context of the energy transition, advanced manufacturing, and shifting global value chains.
