Detailed Description





Symposium Context

The pandemic forced every supply change to change. Leading change is a difficult challenge even for the best of leaders.

The Oil & Gas sector has been going through extreme volatility. Some forecast a multi-year, super-cycle in the future. Others predict supply will overwhelm demand and cause prices to head back down. One thing is sure -- volatility will continue in the future. Oil & Gas Supply Chains must learn to evolve faster than the market. Leading change clearly and cohesively is super-critical for the survival and thrival of this industry!

The Houston Strategy Forum is inviting top O&G supply chain executives to participate in an interactive and vigorous discussion on leading change.



We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

Owner/Operator Panel



• Mr. Steve Freeman, Chief Procurement Officer, Chevron

• Mr. Tom Sims, VP Global Supply Chain and CPO, Hess Corporation

• Mr. Colin Stevenson, Chief Procurement Officer, ConocoPhillips



Supplier Panel



• Ms. Gwen Boyault, VP Planning and Supply chain, Schlumberger

• Mr. Bertrand Frischmann, Senior Vice President, Vallourec

• Mr. Peter Goebel, Vice President, Procurement and Supply Chain, Nabors Industries

• Mr. Dan Pratt, Sr. Executive Vice President - Energy Centers, DistributionNOW

• Mr. Jerry Wilie, Vice President Global Procurement, Materials, and Logistics, Halliburton

Our Unique Format

What Makes Us Different?


The Houston Strategy Forum is a highly interactive discussion forum, not a presentation forum. No speeches, no PowerPoint presentations. 

Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange between our speakers and attendees. Our unscripted format often creates "insightful learning opportunities." We receive rave reviews about our format from speakers and attendees. 

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
