Experience

Geozone Asset & Inventory Manager

Weatherford, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia

Rectified DRP/MTS demand signals and rebuilt planning logic, yielding approximately $1.5M in value impact by concurrently eliminating dead stock and critical spares shortfalls across the GCC Geozone.
Administered the GRC/WIP repair cost control program, encompassing WIP accrual governance, recap approvals, and forecast-to-actual reconciliation, thereby reducing commercial leakage and enhancing P&L visibility for Geozone leadership.
Spearheaded the cross-functional Magnus 475 RSS (Sakhr) FTA qualification program as program manager, coordinating Weatherford Global Product Line R&D (Houston), local R&M, operations, quality, and supply chain across a 28-sub-project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
Achieved qualification on the final attempt, critical as Saudi Aramco would not have granted another FTA.
The program was delivered on schedule, leading to the commercial release of the tool as Sakhr in 2025.
Standardized machining scope and vendor pricing across the KSA/UAE supply base, establishing a repeatable sourcing playbook that reduced procurement variance on critical parts.

Achieved 12% revenue growth above the 2022 target through pricing strategy optimization, upsell plan execution, and Salesforce (SFDC) opportunity-to-closure governance.

Established the Saudi Aramco Real-Time Operations Centre (RTOC) from inception during the COVID-19 pandemic, operating 12-hour shifts for 6 consecutive months with reduced-headcount crews under access restrictions.

Mitigated NPT on live tool-failure incidents through proactive contingency planning with Saudi Aramco, thereby protecting rig time and contract value.
