I’m a Director of Marketing on our Production Chemical Technologies team at ChampionX, a Global Energy Services Company. Currently accountable for the following: (1) understanding the key business drivers of our North America Offshore market (Gulf of Mexico, Eastern Canada, Mexico) and how those key business drivers translate to technology needs; (2) leading innovation management to address those technology needs – both current technology needs and projected future technology needs; and (3) overseeing regional product line management for our market, including our SurFlo℠ offerings for deepwater and ultra-deepwater assets.Prior to current role, I was the District Manager and Director of Technology responsible for the team overseeing the supply of production chemicals and associated services for the ExxonMobil operated Hebron platform located 350 kilometers offshore southeast of St. John's, Newfoundland. Nalco Champion secured the ExxonMobil Hebron contract in June 2016. First oil was achieved on November 27th, 2017 and the Hebron platform will produce up to 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day but can ultimately sustain 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day per the C-NLOPB Hebron development plan. Our production chemicals and associated services to ExxonMobil Hebron ensure asset integrity, flow assurance, and oil/water separation to meet regulatory and fiscal requirements. This was made possible with an experienced and highly skilled team including a Technical Account Manager, Offshore Lab Technicians, local warehousing and supply chain staff, and a start up support team that I had the privilege to lead.In addition, I've developed and commercialized novel chemical solutions for both downstream and upstream applications. My education includes a Ph.D. in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, and my interest is exploring new areas of technology to address the challenges associated with the production and refining of crude oils from deeper, harsher, colder, and more remote environments.
