Experience

Commercial Manager – Low Carbon Power for Data Centers

January 2025 – Present

I lead the commercial strategy and negotiations for multi-gigawatt low-carbon power solutions, partnering directly with hyperscale and colocation data center customers. My work spans the full journey from initial engagement to signed agreements, shaping integrated offerings that bring together energy, carbon abatement, land, and water solutions. Most recently, I’ve advanced projects that combine thermal generation with carbon capture and storage — including one of the largest and first-of-its-kind developments in the industry.

Lithium Global Product Manager

October 2022 – July 2025

As Global Product Manager for Lithium, I led offtake agreement negotiations and drove partnership, joint venture, and business development efforts. I was responsible for shaping product specifications, analyzing supply and demand fundamentals, and developing price strategies to position the business for long-term success.

Capital and Asset Development Strategy

August 2019 – September 2022

As Capital Strategy & Development Manager at ExxonMobil, I guided strategic decisions for tier-1 unconventional assets in the Permian and Bakken. I built detailed financial and economic models from the ground up to value assets, evaluate capital allocation options, and forecast future cash flows, earnings, and asset book values. This work informed development plans over the life of the assets and ensured capital was deployed to maximize long-term value.
