Senior Vice President Middle East and North Africa - Exploration & Production, TotalEnergies, Paris at TotalEnergies

I am Senior Vice President Middle East and North Africa of TotalEnergies Exploration & Production branch since January 2021. In this region, where the company was founded almost a century ago, there is a twofold challenge for our branch: to ensure the historical continuity of our exploration-production activities while supporting the company's climate ambition and the energy transition of countries in the area. I began my career with TotalEnergies in 1996 in LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) trading, then I moved into natural gas trading in Paris, Geneva, London and Houston. In 2011, I took the position of Vice President Strategic Planning for the Gas & Power branch. Then in 2015, I became the Group’s Senior Vice President for Gas, in this role I accompanied Total's growth in LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and the creation of the Gas, Renewables & Power branch. I am a graduate of EDHEC and the London School of Economics & Political Science.
