Hi everyone. I am XYZ. I come from the interesting Drilling Industry. I am a graduate in Petroleum Engineering and was working as Deputy Manager for a major Indian private drilling contractor. Observing the cascading effects of the changes in international oil prices on my organization and on drilling industry at large has drawn me towards Energy Finance & led me to observe the past trends of volatile energy prices more closely. To further explore this burning interest in financial aspects of Oil and gas industry I want to transition within Energy Sector and pursue a career in Energy Finance. Although I can talk at length about the drilling industry, let me not bore you with details but in case you are interested in details, then we should catch up later over a cup of coffee.
Apart from work, I am an active sportsperson, so in case any of you like to play Basketball or Lawn Tennis feel free to give me a shout and we would catch up over a quick game. I also love to explore new places so if anyone is interested we can plan the next trip to the city together.
I’m very excited to be here with such incredible people like you all. I look forward for a fun and engaging experience. Feel free to let me know in case you need any help and I would do my best to help you out.
