Facilities Reliability Manager at Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc.
Young Energy Leader and Professional Engineer with over 15 years of experience, leading asset integrity and reliability programs for well known Oil and Gas owner-operator companies with innovative approaches. My mission is to develop, implement and sustain asset integrity programs which are fit-for-purpose for the operating company, by incorporating new technologies and engineering best practices, to optimize the operations reliability and reduce the associated integrity-related risks, as one of the most challenging aspects of the energy transition roadmap. The opportunity of working for several owner-operator companies in four continents and more than ten countries - in onshore, offshore, and up-, mid-, and downstream operations - has given me deep insight of the Business and Operations Management Systems of major players such as ENI, ENOC, BP, Suncor, Shell, etc. in up- and mid-stream. The programs and projects that I had the opportunity to manage have been acknowledged by c-suite management to have significantly improved safety, reliability and cost-efficiency of operations. These programs and projects are complex in nature and entail many challenging aspects, ranging from generating complex reliability/integrity analysis models, big data collection/management, managing sophisticated computerized tools (CMMS; computerized maintenance management system), utilizing new technologies (digital twins, finite element tools, etc.) to collaboration with hands-on teams (construction, inspection, etc.) to implement and sustain the program requirements. One of my key achievements is incorporating innovative solutions and new technologies into the the body of integrity/reliability programs, to reduce the cost and optimize integrity risk management for operators. Double Module Masters Degree in Structural Engineering and Risk Management from Polytechnic University of Milan. Certified Professional Engineer (P.ENG) Certified Reliability & Maintenance Professional - CMRP API-580 - Risk Based Inspection Certified
