Thomas Demetriades

<p>Led and coordinated multidisciplinary teams of approximately 6-15 across energy-transition, engineering and complex project environments.</p><p> Translated ambiguous client problems into structured approaches, deliverables, governance routines and decision-ready recommendations.</p><p> Connected technical analysis with commercial, operational, funding and programme considerations on industrial CCS and decarbonisation projects.</p><p> Managed scope, resources, project controls, risks, issues, quality, client engagement and forecast-to-completion.</p><p> Established weekly project-control processes linking Oracle timesheet data, deliverable progress, schedule, budget, risks, remaining work and profitability; identified variance and coordinated corrective action with discipline leads.</p><p> Developed Excel/VBA and AI-enabled workflows to transform equipment-list and other engineering inputs into structured cost-estimate outputs.</p><p> Developed prompts and instructions for AI-assisted transformation and supported limited rollout across CCS, battery storage and wind-related applications.</p><p> Coordinated technical evidence, assumptions, outputs and funding information for private, local-government and EU-level stakeholders on industrial CCS projects.</p><p> Supported technology-provider evaluation, constructability assessment and commercial/technical trade-offs for proposed CCS retrofits.</p>

<p>Delivered production-optimisation and operational-performance studies for complex offshore energy assets, integrating reservoir behaviour with surface-facility constraints.</p><p> Developed a modelled operating strategy for the late-life Gimboa field that projected approximately 29% greater cumulative recovery than the baseline forecast; this was a modelled outcome, not verified realised production.</p><p> Peer-reviewed and recalculated hydraulic calculations produced by another contractor, investigating discrepancies and challenging assumptions where appropriate.</p><p> Applied expertise in engineering systems, data interpretation, scenario analysis and model validation to operational and investment-relevant decisions.</p><p> Worked concurrently with Ekimetrics from September 2020 to March 2021.</p>

<p>Developed the statistical failure-modelling component of a framework for fleet availability and operational readiness across major UK Armed Forces platforms.</p><p> Built Excel/VBA models incorporating planned maintenance, probabilistic component failures, spare availability, cannibalisation, replacement lead times and readiness definitions.</p><p> Created scenario-analysis capability to assess maintenance schedules, failure behaviour, supply-chain availability and operational capability.</p><p> Coordinated technical information and translated quantitative analysis into a client-facing decision-support framework.</p><p> Contributed to portfolio planning, resource coordination, management information, progress reporting and senior stakeholder engagement.</p>

<p>Founded and operated an independent consulting and education business, managing client acquisition, proposals, commercial arrangements, delivery and repeat relationships.</p><p> Generated approximately £200,000 cumulatively from SLB, £60,000 from Diageo and £5,000 from ProcureTech, in addition to tutoring revenue.</p><p> Independently identified and developed solutions to unfamiliar technical and commercial problems, managed competing priorities and built client relationships through referrals and repeat work.</p><p> Delivered technology-scouting research for a procurement consultancy, identifying emerging AI-enabled ordering-system providers for potential engagement with global pharmaceutical companies.</p><p> Recruited, selected, trained and mentored tutors; taught and mentored more than 200 students over approximately 15 years.</p>

<p>Led quantitative consulting and data-driven decision-making engagements for commercial clients.</p><p> Managed analytical delivery across multiple markets, including resources, forecasts, client relationships and competing priorities.</p><p> Worked directly with econometric and statistical modelling for commercial analytics, including multi-market data gathering, standardisation, cleaning, quality assurance, model validation, interpretation and client recommendations.</p><p> Supervised SQL-based data extraction and data plumbing for Shawbrook Bank, working directly with the CTO to ensure outputs supported commercially relevant questions.</p><p> Led and line-managed a distributed multidisciplinary team of up to nine across London, Paris, New York and Hong Kong.</p>

<p>Led analytical, commercial and client-facing programmes combining mathematical modelling, data, technology and marketing decision support.</p><p> Personally derived a negative-exponential response-curve methodology for Unilever using historical marketing expenditure and gross-sales data, with greater weighting for recent observations.</p><p> Derived the parameter formulae, implemented Excel prototypes and established methods for estimating sales from a proposed budget or the budget implied by a desired sales outcome, subject to historical relationships.</p><p> Gathered, structured and reconciled data across brands, markets and product categories; developed comparable analytical outputs and bespoke benchmarks for client questions.</p><p> Led extensive robustness, invalid-input, extreme-input and edge-case testing before deployment.</p><p> Managed a four-person Python implementation team scaling the methodology across approximately 500 product lines and 175 countries; retained responsibility for analytical direction and delivery.</p><p> Contributed to the final pitch and senior governance meetings for the approximately €1.3m Unilever engagement, reporting programme progress and analytical recommendations to the global CMO or immediate senior leadership team.</p><p> Supported global deployment, training and user support for approximately 10,000 users across Unilever marketing teams and local agencies.</p><p> Managed a separate Excel/VBA team for HSBC, reviewing and correcting code while overseeing analytical delivery.</p><p> Personally originated approximately £400,000 of HSBC project work across 2019 and 2020.</p><p> Worked with PepsiCo and other major clients on marketing-mix modelling and related quantitative analytics.</p>

<p>Acted as the interface between international customers, users, consultants, product support and software developers for a production-network forecasting application used globally.</p><p> Translated customer requirements and technical feedback into product priorities, functional requirements and software-development actions.</p><p> Delivered modelling, technical support and training across six continents.</p><p> Developed a constrained gas-lift resource-allocation methodology for multiple producing wells, defining mathematical specifications and communicating them to developers.</p>
