Next, I was assigned to an expansion project at the Exxon refinery in Baytown, TX. During this time, I took part in the companys first SAP implementation and was selected to join the deployment team, where I was responsible for the configuration and roll-out of the purchase to pay module in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.

The scale and tempo of this contract were such that roughly 70% of billed costs were from subcontracts. Given the magnitude of this contract (>8billion USD), it was subject to intense scrutiny, and required daily communication with the corporate executive committee, as the project payables directly impacted the companys ability to pursue new work.As an Operations Manager, beginning in 2005, I was part of a three-man team focused on global management of government contracts, corporate and on-site training of new project managers, contract close out, and teaming agreements for proposals to DHS, FEMA and other government agencies.

This contractor was the low bidder by more than 30% and the project was completed on time and at cost. This project management consulting contract increased 300% due to the relationship fostered with the Moroccan government.While with GE Oil & Gas, I served in a commercial leadership role in the manufacture of small scale - modular LNG plants. Reporting to the General Manager, my role included advising multiple Project Directors and training of junior Project Managers on all commercial and contractual issues.My role at Westinghouse is to complete the sale. Working from direction of the Board of Directors, I worked to negotiate terms to an acceptable position with foreign governments and construction partners. |
