Elsa Energy Consulting Ltd is an owner-operated consultancy working across offshore wind, oil & gas, mining and nuclear - underpinned by code-first automation that streamlines routine tasks, standardises data flow, and delivers production-scale analytics.

Design-led energy-project leader with 15+ years in UK consultancy, delivering major programmes from concept and FEED through detailed design and installation. I set execution strategy, run large programmes, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams to deliver on cost, schedule, quality, and risk. My work covers portfolio optimisation, optioneering, supply-chain engagement, and post-award contract management, building strong ties with developers, fabricators, and contractors. Alongside offshore wind, I offer cross-sector experience in mining, large infrastructure, oil & gas, nuclear, and tunnelling—using proven approaches to improve constructability, reduce risk, and create commercial value. I contribute to industry guidance and lecture on offshore energy systems at the University of Bologna.
Previous experience and clients
Offshore Wind
​
​I am an offshore wind specialist with over 15 years’ experience leading major fixed and floating offshore projects from concept and FEED through detailed design and installation across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. My expertise covers monopiles, jackets, suction caissons, drilled-and-grouted piles and anchors for floating wind systems, combining advanced ground modelling, soil–structure interaction, installation analysis (driveability, suction, vibro-driving, jack-up LPA) and cable landfall / CPS engineering to de-risk projects and optimise CAPEX/OPEX. I have authored industry guidelines with the Carbon Trust, contributed to DNV JIPs, led foundation and installation design activities for developers such as Iberdrola and SSE, and I lecture on offshore wind jacket and monopile design at the University of Bologna.
