Bio
Ankit K. Sharma
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Hugh. I had the pleasure of working under Hugh's supervision at Halliburton's Sperry Drilling Services. Hugh's ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before. With his smart, responsive, safety oriented approach and analytical skills he impressively sustained company operations at a time when the Oil economy was at its collapsing stage. No matter how tense a meeting, Hugh made sure everyone left with a smile. As a manager or a leader, Hugh earns my highest recommendation.
