About Steve Pepper

What I Do:I am an HSE Leader with extensive experience in the energy sector. Having worked across continents, I have a diverse and global experience, and a passion for driving safety and environmental performance using trending innovative and transformational technological solutions. • My Expertise Includes:In my years of working across operations, construction, crisis management and emergency response, I have gained a broad global expertise in building HSE management systems and the supporting regulatory compliance networks to facilitate success. I have originated and deployed corporate policy, procedures, and activities across the Americas and Europe to support a safer and environmentally responsible culture in the workplace and across the industry. I have sourced, screened, and conducted safety, environmental, and emergency response research, leading to a successful transition from PFAS firefighting chemistry to non-persistent and safer chemistry. As a dynamic leader, I have led teams to successfully develop strategic contingency and continuity plans, perform business case analysis, land strategic partnerships, and foster customer and partner client relationships• Why I am Different:My global exposure and experience across private and public sector organizations brings unique and diverse thought leadership to generating ideas and opportunities. As a meta leader, I deploy critical and strategic thinking skills up, down, across and beyond my organization to identify complex situations and break them down by using technology and process improvement methods that lead to an exponential increase in productivity and effectiveness. Employing this methodology, I am confident to take on Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals.• What Others Say:In and outside of work, I am described as an innovative, adaptable, transparent, and result-oriented out-of-the box thinker. I am known to demonstrate calm during crises with the ability to make decisions and drive change at the same time be aggressive and ambitious when it comes to meeting goals. I am clear and direct in my communication and passionate about developing the next generation of leaders.
