Power generation in emerging markets is a passion of mine. I operate in Asia, Eastern Europe but with 15 years experience, my niche is Sub-Saharan Africa. I founded a bespoke recruitment company, with a view to working very closely with a limitted number of small to medium entities, including developers, financiers and engineering firms within both conventional and renewable energy. I cover all project stages: > Development, this is a challenging market area with probably the most acute shortage of expertise. I recruit investors, fund managers, development managers for challenging regions (Eg. Francophone Africa) >Construction, track record is key, successful construction professionals are challenging to source especially when factoring in specific technology and language requirements. > Operations, once an asset is constructed in order to deliver results satisfying investors and ppa requirements you need a stable, skilled O&M team. I network constantly within the market, staying abreast of the most recent developments. I keep regular contact with decision makers within the sector, discussing current trends and yes a bit of good old fashioned market gossip. This allows me to bring more to the table and when we speak I'm not just pushing recruitment, I'm open to sharing market insight, discuss trends and share non-proprietary information.
