In the few months since taking on my new role as president of ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company, I’ve developed an immense appreciation for the depth of knowledge that our team possesses.
While meeting and speaking with hundreds of our dedicated scientists and engineers, I have often found myself leveraging this quote from Sir Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
Our technology leaders truly are the strength behind our mission of developing energy solutions. Here’s a quick look at the expertise that makes up this talented organization:
✅ Approximately 4,000 engineers and scientists
✅ 88,000 years of cumulative experience
✅ ~1,000 master’s degrees
✅ ~1,000 Ph.D.s
I’m proud to share my admiration for this team. We have in place the right people with experience from diverse fields and an impressive array of degrees (from earth sciences, physics, toxicology and aeronautics to every kind of engineering and chemistry discipline).
Over the coming months, I plan on introducing you to some of our technology leaders by sharing their backgrounds and, in general, explaining what makes them tick.
Because I firmly believe that no one has gotten where they are all on their own, I’m particularly curious to know who initially sparked these leaders’ interest in STEM studies. (In my case, it was my third-grade teacher, Mr. Harris, who showed me that math could be fun instead of just memorization.)
So, stay tuned for future LinkedIn posts featuring the engineers and scientists who keep the ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company at the forefront of innovation.
