About Me

A highly accomplished OHSEQF and Project Management Consultant currently serving as Managing Director of BSafe Group Belgium. With over 15 years of hands-on leadership across the UAE, Middle East, and Europe, I have built a reputation for delivering zero-incident environments on some of the world's most complex engineering and infrastructure projects.

My expertise spans occupational health and safety, construction management, business continuity, and strategic project delivery, backed by internationally recognised qualifications and a multidisciplinary academic background in engineering, safety leadership, and disaster medicine.

Currently pursuing an Advanced Master of Science in Disaster Medicine at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, I continue expanding my knowledge at the intersection of public health, emergency preparedness, and operational resilience.
