ABOUT DAVE ROBERTS
The energy industry doesn’t reward people who play it safe. It rewards the ones who understand how infrastructure, regulation, and commercial strategy intersect — and can actually execute on value creation.I’ve spent 20+ years at that intersection.At Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, I lead commercial services and strategy for a system that moves natural gas across thousands of miles of interstate infrastructure in the mid-continent. Before that, I spent 16 years at UniFirst scaling distribution and logistics operations globally — building the operational discipline that now shapes how I approach pipeline commercial strategy.What I focus on: ∙ Pipeline gas transmission — capacity, growth, development, and commercial structure ∙ Enterprise strategy — translating operational complexity into growth ∙ Industry relationships — Southern Gas Association Executive Council, 20+ years of sector credibilityI also believe deeply in the communities this industry serves. I’ve chaired boards at Owensboro Health, the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, and Kentucky Wesleyan College — because strong infrastructure and strong communities are inseparable.If you’re working on a challenge in natural gas transmission, commercial strategy, or pipeline operations — or you just want to trade ideas with someone who’s been in the trenches — I’m a connection request away.
