Bio
Erik Roesen Larsen
Varun has headed my Asia-Pasific HSSE team and here he has demonstrated great personal as well as professional skills. Varun is one of the best people leaders I’ve ever worked with. He has a sharp eye for development potential and balances that well with his understanding of business needs. Varun is extremely knowledgeable about Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Quality Management and he has helped me introduce SAFETY II in Maersk Drilling. Varun unfortunately leaves Maersk Drilling as we are consolidating our HSSEQ function in Europe and due to family reasons he cannot follow his position, which I regret. If I had the opportunity I would offer him a job at a heart beat and I can only give Varun my strongest recommendations. He is a rare example of a people leader, business leader, great colleague and a person with very strong and sound values. Varun, I hope I will be lucky enough to work with you again in the future and I wish you the best of luck with you next challenge. Erik Roesen Larsen Head of HSSEQ Maersk Drilling

I have worked alongside Varun for several years, during which he has been a trusted, professional and highly competent colleague and sparring partner - both in operational, tactical and strategic capacities. I would on all aspects of professional and personal acquaintance, provide my warmest and sincere recommendations for Varun! Varun is one of those people in my network who best masters the combined aspects of professional life - formal as well as informal. Varun's ability to strike the best and optimal balance in decision-making and prioritizations is second-to-none. He has always been a trusted colleague with whom I felt comfortable working alongside. To me Varun holds a unique profile - both personally and professionally - and I will look forward to the day our roads cross again!
