ABOUT JOSE SANTOS ROMERO
I’m a purpose-driven professional with over 15 years of experience across reliability engineering, operational excellence, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leadership. I specialize in creating systems that work—whether that’s through improving asset reliability, leading root cause investigations, designing onboarding programs, or cultivating inclusive workplaces that allow people to thrive.My career began in the oil & gas industry, where I developed deep technical expertise in maintenance planning, failure mitigation, and process improvement. As a Reliability Analyst, I’ve led multimillion-dollar cost-saving initiatives, streamlined asset strategies, and developed enterprise tools adopted company-wide. Simultaneously, I served as a PRIDE Network Site President and Elevate Program Coordinator, where I designed and facilitated large-scale DEI initiatives that centered intersectionality, psychological safety, and courageous conversations.I recently presented at the Out & Equal Workplace Summit, showcasing a one-of-a-kind intersectional DEI program developed at Chevron, and was recognized for helping revitalize one of the most active LGBTQIA+ networks in our region.I bring a rare blend of technical acumen, inclusive leadership, and creative problem-solving, and I’m passionate about shaping a sustainable, just, and innovative future—particularly in the airline and clean energy sectors.Let’s connect if you’re building something that makes systems stronger, people safer, and workplaces more human.
