About Robert Bobby van Borssum

I am an environmental and regulatory strategy leader in the upstream energy sector, focused on enabling operational execution by turning complex risk into clear, decision-ready direction.In my current role, I lead environmental delivery across upstream and midstream assets, working through teams to align regulatory strategy, data, and execution with business priorities. My background spans air permitting, compliance, and capital project support, paired with growing responsibility for prioritization, performance, and development of engineers.I partner closely with Operations and Strategy/Transformation to anticipate risk, improve predictability, and support capital deployment decisions. Increasingly, my work integrates data and analytics to help leaders see around corners rather than react after the fact.I am intentionally expanding my leadership scope toward broader business accountability — owning outcomes through people, aligning technical rigor with operational realities, and building scalable systems that enable growth.I’m always open to connecting with leaders focused on operational excellence, disciplined growth, and developing teams that deliver.
