Board and Executive Consulting

When safety, compliance, and operational reliability intersect with business strategy, decisions at the board and executive level carry significant weight. I help leadership teams cut through technical complexity to focus on what matters most, managing risk, protecting assets, and sustaining performance.

With more than four decades in process safety and HSE risk management, I bring a practical, engineering-driven perspective to strategic discussions. I help boards and executives interpret regulatory obligations under OSHA PSM and EPA RMP, evaluate capital investments through a risk-reduction lens, and align organizational priorities with sound risk principles.

My background includes extensive civil and criminal litigation support experience, including the BP Texas City Explosion and Deepwater Horizon incident. Having worked closely with corporate counsel, outside law firms, and government investigators, I understand how technical decisions are scrutinized in legal and regulatory settings. That insight shapes my approach, pragmatic, evidence-based, and focused on helping leaders make decisions that are defensible, well-documented, and aligned with both safety and business objectives.

I offer advisory services on a retainer or project basis, providing independent executive-level counsel on process safety, risk management, and regulatory strategy. Typical engagements include board briefings, leadership workshops, portfolio risk reviews, and targeted support for capital project decisions. Each is tailored to your organization, practical, confidential, and grounded in real-world operating experience.
