“Xodus has been ahead of the game when it comes to decommissioning, from advising governments to strategic planning,” he said. “I am joining a very experienced team that has worked on managing processes and the execution of work on many assets in the North Sea and around the world. I hope my knowledge will add to this and provide the team with an insight into what challenges the operators are facing and how we can help ease the demanding process of decommissioning, including reducing associated costs.”

A company spokesman said that although Saladi will be London based he will be spending a good proportion of his time working from Aberdeen.
