A significant milestone for our South American operation, we are delighted to announce that Eduardo Sessa has joined Motive Offshore Group as our new Regional Manager for Brazil.
Eduardo is a seasoned veteran of the energy sector, bringing over 20 years of expertise to the team. Having held long-term senior managerial positions across the region, he possesses an extensive understanding of the Brazilian marketplace.
Previously, Eduardo served in key leadership roles for some of the world’s most prominent Tier 1 subsea equipment and service providers, overseeing complex offshore oil and gas projects. His deep-rooted local knowledge and technical expertise make him the perfect fit to lead our Rio-based team.
This appointment marks an exciting new chapter for Motive Do Brasil. With Eduardo at the helm, we are strengthening our commitment to delivering multi-disciplinary technical solutions and supporting our clients' most ambitious offshore projects.
The Brazilian market is of huge strategic importance in supporting Motive’s overall growth ambitions, and with Eduardo joining we are looking to rapidly develop our local presence and service-offering in both inspection services and equipment rental packages. Brazil is set for a sustained period of exponential growth across various market sectors and with our array of flexible product handling equipment, Motive are well placed to support the market needs. With Eduardo’s extensive local knowledge and strong reputation, I look forward to him driving our Brazilian business forward.
