I worked with Elena Stuart on the negotiation of Major Contracts on the Vystosk LNG Plant between November 2015 and March 2016.
I was working on behalf of OMZ/Daelim JV (seconded from WorleyParsons through Gazprom the Parent Company of OMZ) in the Capacity of Contracts Engineer alongside Elena who was working as Legal Council on the negotiation and finalisation of the following Contracts,
- LNG Treatment Plant with Air Liquide France,
- LNG Storage Tanks with TGE Germany.
During this period Elena and I worked closely to get these major contracts in place attending meetings and clearing Contract Clarifications and ensuring Daelim did not exceed their authority during the negotiations.
We also collaborated in the drafting of the final Contract Agreements.
During this time, I found Elena diligent, hardworking and knowledgeable on all aspects of the Contract, in addition she is good negotiator with excellent English Language skills.
In addition, Elena is a team player willing to participate and offer solutions in team-based discussions and accept team decisions.
Elena's manner is polite and never overbearing, she is willing to listen to the opinions of others and she did not react during discussions with the Contractors even when these got adversarial, preferring to note their position and discuss calmly after these meetings.
I can recommend Elena in a similar role and personally would be more than happy to work with her again in a team environment.
