My strength comes from demonstrated international experiences in marketing and management, particularly in energy and environmental sectors. For many years, I worked in promoting US Technical Cooperation Programs focusing on Asia's developing countries. Earlier, I worked in multinational companies developing products and building markets for a range of industrial products and services.
My primary objective is to provide consultancy services and help small and medium-sized companies in the areas of business development, marketing, management, and training of human resources. I am also a writer and editor of a monthly energy publication. I wish to pursue writing and editing projects too.
