About Obaid Ghazi

Strategic and results-driven Business Planning and Process Engineering Professional with over 20 years of experience in oil refining, energy optimization, and corporate strategy across global operations. I specialize in bridging the gap between technical operations and executive decision-making — transforming complex data into actionable business insights that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and guide strategic investments. At ADNOC Refining, I’ve led the development of multi-year business plans, built cost optimization models that improved variable cost efficiency by 25%, and standardized technical frameworks that enhanced production forecast accuracy. Earlier in my career, I managed refinery process optimization projects delivering multi-million-dollar margin improvements and energy efficiency gains. Known for my collaborative leadership style, I work closely with executives, finance teams, and operations leaders to align business objectives with corporate strategy.
