Results for Energy Companies Across the Value Chain
Case Snapshot: Executive Succession Planning for a Global Refining Company
A global energy company needed to prepare for the upcoming retirement of three senior executives. We led a confidential executive search and market mapping initiative to identify external successors for the CFO, VP of Marketing, and VP of Planning roles. The result? A fully vetted succession pipeline, increased leadership continuity, and the ability to transition on their timeline, not the market’s.
Midstream Client Testimonial
“When I moved to Houston to start a new company in oil and gas, I had to quickly build out a team that could drive a PE-backed startup to an IPO within a year. Kimberly stepped in and helped me as we quickly built the right team... She far excelled other recruiters I’ve worked with—she’s a thought partner, a visionary, and a team player.”
