Emil Farkhan
Eight years making energy, mining, and manufacturing operations run leaner—fewer resources burned, less waste generated, longer equipment lifecycles. My portfolio spans national utilities, upstream oil & gas, and heavy industry across Southeast Asia. I've delivered predictive systems that cut fuel consumption, reduce unnecessary maintenance, and keep equipment running longer before disposal.
The question that won't leave me: if I can make extractive industries this resource-efficient, what happens when I point those skills at ecosystems that actually deserve protection?
Seeking MESPOM to build implementation pathways for sustainable maritime solutions. I don't just study problems—I make solutions work at scale.
