As the Chief Geologist at Husky my goal was to leverage my passion for Geoscience to enable Husky's Geological community so that they, in turn, could lead the success of their respective Business Units. In addition, I led Husky's Geological Services team who support specialized geological applications across the subsurface Business Units. I was also responsible, in conjunction with Husky's Chief Geophysicist and Chief Petroleum Engineer for stewarding Husky's subsurface Peer Assist and… Show more As the Chief Geologist at Husky my goal was to leverage my passion for Geoscience to enable Husky's Geological community so that they, in turn, could lead the success of their respective Business Units.
