About

I am starting a new role, to find talent in Australia, New Zeland and Papua New Guinea, as a fresh out recruiter. I am looking up for the challenge. Recently, i completed two years as Product and Service Delivery manager for Australia, in charge of the Well Testing (surface and downhole) operations for APG. Before managing this incredible team, I spent 2 years developing the new talents who joined Schlumberger, as a technical instructor, and developed new training profile methodologies, and started a digitalization process for the courses, as the Lead instructor at Middle East Learning Center for Schlumberger where I shared what I learned over the 8 years I've worked as a field engineer.
