Über dieses Buch

This book shares the learnings and perspectives of two pioneer women who waded the many challenges posed by multiculturalism and gender in one of the corporate environments more rigid and traditional in the business world: the energy sector in the Middle East.
How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and their teams is a story of professional and personal tenacity, shaping a privileged perspective that enabled them to understand the root causes of barriers, as well as envision plausible solutions.
They propose in the book not only their vision, but a remarkable collection of unfiltered interviews to influential leaders in the energy sector, to complete a vision of what is key to achieve success when leading or consulting in a corporate environment. The book offers a compilation of very personal approaches to professionalism, resilience, work, and ultimately, success, from within and outside the ranks of highly regarded corporations in the energy sector. The ultimate aim is that of triggering a self-reflection in the readers, grounded on the learnings and perspectives of those who made it to the highest roles of one of the less understood business environments.

Nader H. Sultan
Abstract
There are crises very similar to storms, where an anchor is a salvation. The State of Kuwait has navigated through several storms. The top one without any doubt was the invasion the country suffered on August 2nd, 1990. The country was hit in many ways, with its oil industry, in particular, being affected in unconceivable ways. In those dark days, from the regional headquarters of KPI in London, Nader Sultan became one of the valuable Kuwaiti anchors. Among the leaders of the wonderful collective effort, Nader Sultan was a key strategist, who was crucial in the efforts to manage both the Kuwait oil assets abroad in its worst moments, and assist in the planning for the return to Kuwait.

Hashem S. Hashim
Abstract
Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) launched a major new company in 2016 namely, the Kuwait Integrated Petrochemical Industries Company (KIPIC). KIPIC, one of the two largest companies within KPC, will integrate, deliver and run three massive new projects at the Al-Zour complex. The first of which will be a refinery, followed closely by a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) importing facility and finally a Petrochemicals plant. The investments will total 26 billion US dollars, uplifting Kuwait’s position in the downstream sector and increasing the refining capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day.

Maha Mulla Hussain
Abstract
Women are scarce in the oil and gas industry, but even more in the downstream sector, the one related to refinery and distribution and marketing of the products. But in Kuwait, one woman, Maha Mulla Hussain, has reached the highest ranked role of the entire petrochemical industry, as Chairperson and Managing Director of PIC, the Petrochemical Industries Company of Kuwait. This fact catapulted her to be top role model in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry.in the Middle East, and in many ways, in the world.

Olivier Soupa
Abstract
When you need support in the executive workflows related to the optimization of organizational structures, you call a consulting firm. There are many consulting firms, especially for the oil and gas sector. But when you need a good consultant you call him or her by name. Olivier Soupa is one of those advisors who executives in the energy sector call by name.

Intisaar Al-Kindy
Abstract
A young Omani woman taking over the huge task of launching a new Shell office in Jordan is certainly an unusual image, even these days. But that is exactly what Intisaar Al-Kindy accomplished, and this accomplishment took place more than 10 years ago, back in 2007.

Dr. Behrooz Fattahi
Abstract
Volunteers in professional societies are the very heart of the organization, shaping the activities, the governance, and its future. Some volunteers are best at propelling change, envisioning new futures, establishing liaisons and bridges where there were none, and advancing the membership to new levels.

Fareed Abdulla
Abstract
There is one event in oil and gas that grew from a country-scale technical conference to become the largest conference and technical exhibition in the world. That is the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), and Fareed Abdulla is a key engine propelling ADIPEC towards success in its latest editions. It is very difficult to imagine the modern ADIPEC without thinking of Fareed, as in 2016 he was the technical program chair.

Dr. Pinar Oya Yilmaz
Abstract
The external face of ExxonMobil in international liaisons is a woman, Pinar Yilmaz. To say that Pinar knows all the main executives of the most important operating and production companies in the world is an understatement. Pinar knows not only the executives, but also the key people who can clear roadblocks for difficult deals or who may add their technical insight, so that decisions are made with a “win-win” approach for all stakeholders involved.

Hinda Gharbi
Abstract
A Tunisian female engineer is building an undeniable trail of success in the oil industry, with her many achievements in the most important oil and gas fields of the world, in a leading role for one of the top-ranked oilfield services companies. That engineer is Hinda Gharbi, a tiny woman who has built for herself a high reputation. Hinda has broken paradigms about women at the field in the oil industry’s offshore operations, raising eyebrows of colleagues and strangers, from her early start, having to jump into helicopters to reach her worksite at the drilling platforms at sea, to lead well logging operations in what was many times a first, for those operational crews.

Dr. Nansen G. Saleri
Abstract
Dr. Nansen Saleri is a familiar presence in the Wall Street Journal, Houston Chronicle, Reuters, Bloomberg and CNBC. His insight and perspective are among the most acute in the energy world. There is no major conference or forum providing the business of the sector that would not like to include his voice as a powerful motivator or to trigger deep reflections in the audience. He was cited among the industry’s game changers in the book titled, Groundbreakers – The Story of Oilfield Technology and the People Who Made it Happen, by Mark Mau and Henry Edmundson (2015).
