En résumé

I am a highly qualified contract & performance manager. Graduated with two masters Degrees, in Finance and Business Management, I have built my career with two large international groups, initially in the oil and gas industry and then in the water and wastewater industry. I have much travelled, having studied in the USA and spent time in Europe and several Middle-Eastern countries.
I am a manager and team player used to deal with both internal and external clients and service providers, as well as public authorities. In my key support function, I have developed strong analytical, planning and organizational skills and have implemented management and technical performance procedures and data-bases within Saur’s highly developed QHSE environment. Applying the key targets and indicators, I am a driver and regulator of performance and efficiency management.
A fluent French, English and Arabic speaker, mastering North African and Middle-Eastern dialects, my professional and communication skills are a valuable attribute.
