“A winning strategy requires an accurate outside-in assessment of the market landscape and an honest quantification of your position to ground truth strategic options for entry, expansion or exit. Andrea lead a first-of-its-kind comprehensive x-business analysis of the $600B Upstream E&P oilfield products and services market. Her collaboration with over 60 global businesses produced a shared market map with an agreed bottom up sizing and segmentation taxonomy, a first in SLB. The analysis formed the basis of SLB's 10 year Production strategy that strengthened current offerings and expanded our footprint to new or adjacent markets through joint-venture and acquisition.”

"To be widely implemented in the oil & gas sector, emission reduction solutions need to be commercially feasible and structured in a way that allow companies can assess the project potential, financial and otherwise, relative to other investment opportunities.  Brent was able to assist us in refining the business model and pro forma of our methane reduction program in a way that aligned with industry investment strategies and thus helped us improve the commercial success of our program.  Over a four-year period, we were able to sign up 40 oil & gas producers, retrofit, replace or remove 12,000 high-bleed pneumatic devices, quickly achieving payout and generating positive cash flow for the business and our partners, and ultimately generating 3 million tonnes CO2e of reductions by the end of 2022."

"The most difficult part of a going-to-market with a new technology is when Marketing and Technology experts are disconnected. Andrea is both technical and creative, and she understands what drives our clients to invest in new technology. Working together we developed a 6-month campaign for a chemical product that brought in $36M in incremental sales, and ultimately led to demand outpacing supply"
"I have a great respect for Brent's business sense, drive and determination. He has a broad and deep understanding of the upstream and midstream energy
sectors, which combined with his financial background provides a powerful combination to develop strategies and deep insights for Energy clients and then translate them into successful action."
