Please join us at a SPE-GCS Investment & Finance Initiative event, created to open a dialogue between SPE members and the oil and gas investment community.  

Do you work at a large corporation in the Oil & Gas space and have you ever wondered what it is like to work at a smaller company backed by a Private Equity investment fund? Our panelists with both E&P and OFS backgrounds will share their thoughts and advice, as well as what their experiences have been like in both situations. We will explore topics including capital allocation decision making, what it is like to work in a smaller company with fewer resources and how to manage growth. The panel will provide anecdotes from their careers and insights for those considering making the jump from a large corporation to a private equity backed company.

A cocktail reception will take place before the event, sponsored by our host McKinsey & Co.
