What is your professional story? Your career pathway?
I have a degree in Information Technology.
I started my career at a University, as a database and Microsoft Access teacher. While doing this, I also worked for the German Foreign Aid Service on setting up a land registry IT system; the project for which I led my first team. Then, I joined a large consumer goods company. I was responsible for the Central America and Caribbean regions.
What motivated you to join Perenco?
I started working in the oil industry when I was still at university. The Guatemalan branch of the company I worked for was acquired by Perenco.
As in any acquisition, change is a difficult but very interesting process. The ways of working were very different; we learned a lot.
What do you like most about your job?
The human contact, the ability to work with users from several countries, who have their own ways of doing things, even if we share the same goal.
The fact that there is continuous learning.
Even though I have been working for Perenco for 18 years, I have never been bored, it changes all the time !
Which corporate value(s) do you most admire at Perenco, and why?
For me, all the values are important - but I relate above all to Passion, Optimism and Integrity.
These are values that I have come across in my colleagues, particularly in the subsidiaries.
