Craig McDonald - Business Development and Proposal Manager

Looking to continue my career in Oil and Gas within the Gulf region, particularly focused around BD, Proposals and Contract Management

I am an international business development professional with a successful track record on a worldwide scale. I have successfully augmented business in a number of international destinations including Australasia, Singapore, Africa, Afghanistan, the Balkans and the GCC region, many of these projects valued in excess of US$100m.

A results driven individual who gains greatest reward from the successes achieved within competitive markets, I am known for an ability to provide sound commercial acumen, while simultaneously applying lateral thought processes to any project. I offer a highly strategic and visionary though process and am comfortable in building short, medium and long term business plans and strategies.

Comfortable in handling client negotiations at any level, including with Governmental, Military, NGO and private sector clients, I add value to each project that I am involved with.

I have over 4 years experience in working in the GCC regions, including living here since November 2009. I have traveled to many austere environments as required.

I hold a Diploma in Logistics, as well as certifications in Project Management, Risk Management and Proposal Management.

I am hoping to work towards my MBA and complete this before 2015
