TAM International strengthens Asia and Middle East management teams

HOUSTON -- TAM International has hired Scott Myers as Middle East Manager and Edward Wharam as Country Manager for Indonesia and Malaysia.

With more than 30 years of industry expertise, Myers joined TAM International after serving as the Regional Manager for the Middle East and North Africa for Key Energy Services, and in various capacities in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and the Indian subcontinent for Halliburton. In his new position, Myers is tasked with growing TAM’s business in the Middle East, focusing on high-potential sales areas.

Myers' team will also focus on raising awareness of, and helping to build, a strong health, safety and environment culture in the Middle Eastern region, similar to that which is seen throughout TAM’s global operations. Building this team will be a key part of TAM's investment in this increased regional focus.

“There are certainly large and as-yet unrealized opportunities in the Middle East, in areas such as Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Southern Iraq,” Myers said. “These areas will be among our first priorities as 2015 progresses.”

Wharam will take on the role of Country Manager for Indonesia and Malaysia after serving as a Business Development Manager for National Oilwell Varco. With more than twelve years of experience working in the international upstream oil and as industry, Wharam brings valuable insight to TAM’s business.

In this role, Wharam will focus on the continued growth of Indonesian and Malaysian regions, designing and implementing a strategic plan to enhance TAM’s brand equity and ensuring profitable growth without sacrificing the quality or operational aspects of the business.

“Both Indonesia and Malaysia offer promising opportunities for TAM,” Wharam said. “This will be seen particularly in Indonesia, as the country’s economy is one of the fastest growing in the world at the moment.”
