Adam’s career has taken him from the deserts of the Middle East to the maritime routes of Australia and the industrial corridors of Europe. Prior to his role at MedservRegis, he served as Head of Logistics Resource Delivery and Engineering at Eni, where he was seconded to the North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC) in Kazakhstan. There, he led future logistics strategy for major oil field developments, executed feasibility studies for supply base changes amid falling sea levels, and crafted contract frameworks for critical dredging operations. His impact was instrumental in laying the groundwork for safe, scalable offshore operations.

Earlier, as Logistics Manager at IEOC in Egypt, Adam steered national logistics during the tumultuous COVID-19 period. He initiated a series of resource and process optimizations—from warehouse consolidation and fleet modernization to manpower efficiencies—that resulted in measurable cost reductions and performance gains.
