My skill set encompasses project management, operational expertise, and consultancy, with a primary focus on assisting national and local government bodies, autonomous government agencies, public utilities, and private sector enterprises in securing funding and facilitating private sector participation in large-scale capital investment projects. I’m well-versed in capital budgeting and the financial analysis of investment projects, including the development of preliminary business cases and PPP viability assessments.

Furthermore, I possess specific proficiency in conducting economic and financial feasibility analyses for water, waste, and energy projects, as well as implementing programs to enhance the financial performance of utility companies.
