Director,
Lukoil Marine Lubricants
A senior executive with over 20 years of experience, June is presently the Managing Director at one of the largest marine lubricant supplier in the world, LUKOIL.
June’s career graph is as exceptional and inspiring as she is. To say that she is an icon admired and respected by women (and men) across the business world would be a gross understatement. A self-made success story, June hasn’t just broken the proverbial glass ceiling. She shattered it. In a largely male dominated industry, her determination and massive appetite for challenges has proven her skeptics wrong. Time and time again.
It all began in the early nineties when June took up an entry-level job with British Petroleum (BP) in Oman. It wasn’t long before she made her presence felt. However, when the time came for her family to relocate to Dubai in 1994, June requested a transfer to their UAE operations. Not keen to let go of a prodigious talent as June, BP retained her services within the Dubai offices.
June’s growth within the company was as rapid as her desire to learn. Working across all functions like Supply Chain, Customer Service, Credit, Strategy and Planning, she finally found her sweet spot in Sales specifically in the Marine Lubricants Sector. Back in the late nineties, she was one of only a handful of women engaged in the marine business. “I vividly remember my manager back then asking me if I was sure of taking up a sales assignment in marine lubricants” quips June.
