Simon will unfortunately be leaving Olwg as a Director to pursue another full-time position, and we thank Simon for his contributions in helping to turn Olwg from a fledgling ‘idea’ to a Company with unique prototype products and a Plan designed to sustain + scale our operations. We’re pleased that Simon will remain a valued Advisor to Olwg from November, and we wish Simon all the best with his new role.
This left an important position open at a critical time for us – and we’re excited to announce and introduce two new starters who join us today:
Emmanuel Kirunda joins as Commercial Director
and will essentially pick up from Simon’s commercial role – focusing initially on shaping, delivering and executing the Plan. Emmanuel and Tony worked closely together on delivering the Final Investment Decision and initial contract placement for the $600M Greater Jubilee Full Field development, and we trust him with leading on delivering the next phase of Olwg’s business.
Welcome Emmanuel!
Rafique Samdani will join as Business Development Manager
initially on a part-time basis, this important new role will become more important as we continue to understand and attract paid customers. Rafique came highly recommended through Simon’s network.
Welcome Rafique!
A first degree in Physical Electronics followed by a master’s in computer science set the scene for a career in the Oil & gas sector. From a “juggie” & observer on seismic crews to real-time processing onboard seismic acquisition vessels.
The later 10+ years focussed on BD activities nationally and internationally.
Welcome Emmanuel and Rafique!
We’re very lucky to have been able to attract them to our team.
