ABOUT DOROTHY RURAK

As an influential technical operations leader and change agent, I build a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, operationalizing key initiatives to solve critical issues, enable scale, and maximize results. I inspire, motivate, and rally matrixed organizations, leveraging my strategic vision and instructional design and training initiatives to influence stakeholders at all levels. Through critical thinking and ongoing collaboration across departments, I create solutions to dynamic business challenges that accelerate corporate objectives. By encouraging the adoption of change management to drive a global impact, I provide transparent communication, adaptable leadership, positive coaching, and a passion for delivering results, building high-functioning teams dedicated to performance excellence. Below I’ve included a selection of key accomplishments from my career at Energy Transfer Partners (previously Sunoco Logistics): Decreased total recordable incident rates by 10% and preventable vehicle incidents by 40% in 2023, achieved the best safety record year in company history, improved safety management systems, and boosted compliance. Created, deployed, and scaled a safety leadership workshop series to cultivate organizational excellence and a continuous improvement culture. Leveraged compelling storytelling during 50+ presentations to engage teams in adhering to critical requirements and connecting the impact of our safety programs to overall corporate strategy. Successfully integrated an enhanced safety culture across 4 acquisitions of small mom-and-pop businesses, mitigating risks by executing gap analyses of current procedures; forged relationships and communication with new employees to transition purchased companies to ETP programs; and established an effective integration timeline. Led cultural change to foster comprehensive employee understanding and compliance with safety programs by transforming safety communication and marketing into a key company focus. Advocated for and received approval to hire a team member to elevate communication, which drove staff buy-in on companywide initiatives. I am excited to expand my professional network and see what the future may hold. If you would like to connect, please contact me at d••••••••@gmail.com.
