About Austin Hodge

Autonomy project info: https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-and-oxbotica-complete-industry-first-autonomous-vehicle-trial-at-german-refinery.htmlhttps://www.oxbotica.com/insight/bp-and-oxbotica-complete-industry-first-autonomous-vehicle-trial-at-german-refinery/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxZOMNWRO7I&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=OxboticaI am a Global EV Program Manager and Rice University MBA alumnus with 10 years of Energy industry experience and a deep background in digital solution delivery and product/portfolio management. I am fluent in project management and economic analysis, having identified, matured and executed successful oil development drilling campaigns and innovative digital technology projects through effective communication and extensive cross-functional collaboration. In past roles, I have delivered digital solutions and robotics initiatives with combined value totaling over $75M in functions such as Refining, Supply Chain, Drilling and Completions, and Supply and Trading. I have extensive hands-on time with groundbreaking technologies including robots such as Unitree A1, Boston Dynamics Spot, and Anybotics Anymal. Through leading a wide variety of projects in several subject areas, I have developed a strong ability to learn new domains and technologies, allowing me to add value to new initiatives with agility. I am currently working for bp Pulse, focusing on driving alignment between the core product teams and stakeholders including M&A, business development, and strategy. My mission is to help define and shape the global fleet EV product offer across 30 countries and maintain rigor around ways of working and prioritization. I aim to ensure new products are delivered with Agile/Scrum project management methodology. Colleagues know me as a high energy, approachable person who is consistently encouraging teamwork. I do some of my best work in a collaborative environment, but I am very adept at delivering results independently. Throughout my professional journey I've learned to always make my thinking visible and encourage others to make their thinking visible. I have the ability to work and adapt in high stress environments, exhibited by how well I was able to handle unforeseen events during the execution phases of multi-million dollar oil wells.I have an MBA from Rice University, a Master's in Geology from Indiana University and a BS in Geology with a Minor in Environmental Science from Clemson University.
