ABOUT TERRY PHARAON
I am a Capital Project Management and Supply Chain Leader with a foundation in Electrical Engineering and a passion for advancing reliable, efficient energy systems. Throughout my career, I have supported large-scale Power Distribution and Petroleum Pipeline infrastructure initiatives by leading capital projects\' design and execution, supplier strategy, contract negotiations, and cost optimization efforts that strengthen operational performance. My commitment to energy reliability is personal. Having lived in regions where access to electricity was limited to only part of the day, I experienced firsthand how dependable energy infrastructure transforms communities and opportunity. That perspective continues to shape how I approach my work — aligning commercial strategy, supply chain execution, and long-term sustainability to deliver resilient solutions. With experience bridging engineering, project delivery, and business strategy, I focus on building strong supplier partnerships, mitigating risk, and driving value across capital and operational supply chains. I am motivated to contribute to teams that expand access, improve reliability, and support the evolving future of energy and infrastructure.
