Hello and welcome!
All of us here at Oil in the Engine have previously held leadership positions within global firms

This means that we work from your context and bring genuine understanding when discussing your needs. We know what it’s like to manage tough targets, tight budgets and multiple stakeholders. Above all, we also know first hand how challenging it can be to develop critical “soft skills”, whether that’s talking to your team, presenting to a client, or negotiating a deal.
