About Ekram
Accomplished Sr. LCI (Life Cycle Information) Lead with 19 years of international experience in the oil and gas industry, specializing in document control, engineering information management, and technical data governance. Demonstrated success in leading large-scale offshore and onshore projects from concept to final handover, ensuring quality, compliance, and seamless collaboration across capital projects for Equinor, Aker BP (formerly BP), ExxonMobil and Repsol/Maersk.
Holds an Executive Master of Management in Energy from BI Norwegian Business School, with a strategic focus on global energy systems, sustainability, digital innovation, and the energy transition. Through my final thesis on Aker Solutions’ strategic adaptation to REPowerEU and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, I gained deep insight into how regulatory change shapes opportunity in offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture. Additional studies in HR management, logistics, and communication have further strengthened my ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and implement complex systems with impact.
Recognized for building high-performing teams, training staff across disciplines, and driving improvements in data quality, system integration, and operational efficiency. I bring a future-ready mindset, bridging traditional oil and gas expertise with strong capability to support the shift toward net-zero and sustainable energy innovation.
Outside of work, I am actively engaged in the swimming community as a certified referee (Rogaland Svømmekrets) and involved parent, supporting my two sons in their athletic pursuits.
