More than twenty years in the oil, gas and fuel retail sector. From project analyst to international business development at large and medium-sized companies in distribution and retail oil & gas.

Profile

Technical background with business insight

For more than twenty years active in the oil, gas and fuel retail industry – with international players such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Avia, Lukoil, … – provides a thorough knowledge of what is really going on in this sector. Not as a spectator, but as someone who sat at the table for years.

That career brought a rare combination: technical IT knowledge built up in complex international environments, broad commercial experience in B2B sales and business development, and an extensive network throughout the entire sector – from the major international companies to the Fuel Retail operators and their technology suppliers.

With Adrion, Tom translates that experience into concrete results for organizations that need an external view of their functioning. Direct and pragmatic, without unnecessary detours.
