About Beth Purcell

Needle mover. Progress driver. Relationship & bridge builder. Safety champion. Continuous improver. Value deliverer. Leader by listening, inspiring, empowering, and producing. Experienced oil & gas and technology professional. Strengths in liaising among various disciplines, backgrounds, and levels of the organization and in \"translation\" to/from the business and IT. My career originally grew within a downstream Marketing & Logistics career ladder and shifted to a variety of roles of increasing responsibility within upstream and midstream/pipeline technology functions. I’ve gained a unique perspective within the O&G industry by combining undergraduate work in communications, an MBA, and regular engagements with technical staff (operators, E&I technicians, engineers, geologists, etc.) This balanced view of the value chain and enabling functions has provided me many experiences and opportunities to understand and respond to needs as they pertain to building toward a future desired state, developing a strategy to get there, and combining multiple perspectives to achieve doable, win-win solutions.
