Alex is currently a Geoscientist working at Tullow Oil. After completing his BSc in Southampton he went on to do geotechnical consultancy work for 2 years before enrolling on the Petroleum Geoscience Masters at Royal Holloway University and graduating in 2010. Following the masters he started working for Tullow Oil and met a number of AAPG members at a YP networking events. They mentioned a need for more committee members and he thought it would be fun to get involved, initially starting as treasurer I secured funding for a rugby tournament, 5 careers events and several networking events in 2012-13 and have now taken up the position of AAPG YP president (London). The committee plans to keep running careers events to encourage people to start a career in the industry and networking events to continue to spread the AAPG YP word and we are excited at the prospect of further success and continuing to add fresh ideas to the industry YP scene in London in the years to come.
