Founder & General Manager
With a career shaped by both engineering rigor and a lifelong connection to the ocean, Jose is a geologist specializing in oil and gas extraction, offshore field development, and specialized contracting.
Born in Portugal and raised by the Atlantic, the sea has always been more than a backdrop — it has been a constant source of inspiration and respect. That connection ultimately guided a professional path focused on offshore environments, where geology, engineering, and the forces of nature intersect.
After years of hands-on experience in the oil and gas industry, Jose founded the enterprise 26 years ago as a subcontracting company built on technical excellence, reliability, and deep geological understanding. What began as a focused operation has grown into **Global Speed Energy** — a trusted European partner on complex offshore, subsea, and continental energy projects, supporting safe and efficient resource extraction in some of the world's most demanding environments.
Today, Global Speed Energy reflects both its founder’s technical expertise and personal philosophy: rigorous engineering grounded in respect for the ocean. Working at sea is not taken for granted; it is a privilege. That perspective drives a commitment to precision, safety, and sustainable practices, ensuring that every project balances performance with responsibility toward the marine environment that makes it possible.
Our senior management team consists of highly qualified professionals with deep operational backgrounds across European energy basins.
