Day 1 of the two-day Energy Exports Conference in Aberdeen (Tuesday 6 June) will see EIC’s CEO, Stuart Broadley host a personal and interactive discussion with Ken Gilmartin, one of the energy sector’s leading voices, allowing the audience to gain insight into his thoughts and opinions on the current market.
The Irish businessman took over as Wood’s Chief Executive from Robin Watson in July 2022 and spoke of his focus on leading the company into a ‘new era’. He has recently been vocal in championing expertise in the UK North Sea, as a key hub for Wood’s business.
“We are delighted to be up close and personal with Ken Gilmartin for the anticipated ‘An Interview With…’ on day 1 of the Energy Exports Conference 2023,” said Stuart Broadley, CEO of the Energy Industries Council (EIC).
“Previous interviews have included Sir Ian Wood and Louise Kingham, Senior Vice President, Europe and Head of Country of bp, who have been invited to return to the conference this year in a different capacity. Interviews with stalwarts such as these are always a big audience draw as these guests are the leading voices of our industry. As Ken rightly shares, we have huge levels of expertise in the North Sea developed over decades of oil and gas, and in many other geographies around the world. I look forward to chatting with Ken and delving into the way ahead for Wood and the wider industry.”
Talking ahead of his participation in this year’s Energy Exports Conference Ken says, “Wood is a story of success based on talent, innovation and the ability to play on the world stage. We are remarkable people, trusted by clients, to design, build and advance the world.
“Our local teams are working on world-class projects in over 50 countries and I find it inspiring how this valuable expertise has been developed and exported to make a real impact globally. As an industry, we have a real opportunity in delivering the energy transition – the future is in our hands and we should embrace it.”
Wood will also participate in the contractor update, hydrogen focus panel and the ‘Opportunities in America’ session, over the course of the conference.
