In detail:

With over 15 years in the energy sector, Mashal established and now leads Baringa’s LNG and Gas Commercial and Trading advisory. Her expertise spans the full value chain, from transaction advisory and strategy development to execution and the commercial management of energy assets and portfolios. A bit of a geek at heart, she’s not afraid to dive into hard, quantitative problems. 

She has advised international oil companies, utilities, trading houses, infrastructure owners, and financial institutions on major strategic and transformational initiatives, including transactions, market entry, asset commercialisation, and decarbonisation. Having been embedded within and worked alongside her clients’ commercial, trading, and business development teams, Mashal has developed an intrinsic understanding of how energy and infrastructure players operate. 

Her approach, 'strategy from within', combines deep market insight with a practitioner’s understanding of the commercial and operating models of energy companies and traders, ensuring that her recommendations are both ambitious and practically executable. 

Mashal lives in London with her husband and two children in a multilingual, multicultural household surrounded by a large and close-knit family. Her love for history often takes her to explore old towns and sites. When she gets a rare moment of peace, she enjoys grabbing a book and getting lost in a good story.
