Beato brings to Omega extensive experience from the oil and energy sector. Although she believes the job will be challenging, she is more than ready for the task and believes she has the best starting point to ensure success.

"The market is tougher in the States, but Omega is recognized and boasts a solid client portfolio in USA including Nobel Energy, Worley Parsons, BP and ConocoPhillips.
