[EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950698047/live) reported the appointment on October 19, 2026.\n\n## Robson's Role and Prior Experience\n\nIn her new role, Robson will strengthen the consultancy's regional leadership team and work with clients, including major oil and gas operators and supply chain partners, to improve leadership, workplace behaviour and organisational culture across frontline teams, supervisors and executive management. The appointment forms part of IntrospeXion's continued regional expansion and focus on supporting high-risk industries.\n\nRobson brings more than 15 years of experience across energy, engineering and industrial operations, applying her PhD in Industrial & Organisational Psychology to develop leadership, resilience, cultural awareness and behavioural effectiveness programmes. Her work has focused on strengthening psychological safety and workforce resilience in demanding operational environments. With more than two decades of regional experience, she has worked with English- and Arabic-speaking employees and multinational teams across the GCC, and her previous on-site assignments involved supporting the welfare and duty-of-care requirements of expatriate engineers and contractors working in challenging conditions.\n\nRobson spent more than a decade at international risk management and assurance organisation Lloyd's Register, including as Head of HR & Operations - Middle East & Africa. During her tenure, she designed and implemented human resources and administrative operations for major offshore oil and gas projects in the Caspian region. At IntrospeXion, she will work alongside the consultancy's qualified psychology team to deliver behavioural assessments, psychological profiling, organisational development and culture change programmes, targeting workplaces in remote, offshore and other challenging locations.\n\nRobson said: \"Those within workforce management and HR know the challenges facing teams in the region: the GCC People Pulse report by Employee Experience Exchange (EXE) found that workplaces here report much higher stress levels than the global average. After 20 years in the region, I have noticed changes in how companies manage wellbeing policies and support initiatives. IntrospeXion's early success in the Middle East is a clear sign of change.\"\n\nIntrospeXion Founder and CEO Shabnum Hanif said: \"Natalie brings exactly the combination of expertise and operational understanding that we want to strengthen within IntrospeXion's GCC offering. Her depth of experience in psychology, leadership and industrial environments will add significant value to our clients, particularly those operating in high-risk and high-pressure settings.\"\n\n## IntrospeXion's Regional Expansion\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), IntrospeXion is an Aberdeen-based, psychologist-led workplace mental health consultancy founded in 2024, delivering on-site clinical services, crisis response, ADHD screening and leadership coaching to enterprise clients in offshore energy, construction, decommissioning and other high-pressure industries across the UK and Middle East. The company has a headcount range of 1-10 and an estimated revenue under $1 million. In 2025, it established a new regional entity in the UAE to deliver behavioural risk and wellbeing consultancy services to Middle East energy clients, marking its first international market entry beyond the UK.\n\n## Robson's Board and Industry Work\n\nRobson holds qualifications and certifications from IOSH, Pearson Assessments, the British Psychological Society, AQR International, Hogan and Saville. She also serves on the board of the International Centre for Mental Toughness Research and Development and contributes to industry workshops and conferences. Alongside her role at IntrospeXion, Robson operates an independent practice supporting organisations across the region in human capital, cultural awareness and behavioural assessment.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
