About David A.
VP-level LNG operations and engineering leader focused on building safety-first cultures and delivering reliable, repeatable performance at scale. I build and lead multidisciplinary teams across Operations, Process Engineering, Reliability, Maintenance, I&E, and HSE—turning complex operational challenges into structured programs with clear standards, measurable KPIs, and sustained adoption in the field.My work centres on operational process safety and execution discipline: embedding practical routines for critical controls/barrier management, management of change, operating envelopes/IOWs, alarm management governance, and learning from events—so expectations are clear on shift and performance improves without relying on heroics. I also have deep experience in resourcing and standing up new facilities and capabilities: org design, staffing plans, training/competency frameworks, and cross-functional operating rhythms to enable safe ramp-up.Known for calm, people-centred leadership, clear prioritisation, and raising the standard of normal while delivering results.
