Bob is a partner in Oliver Wyman’s Energy and Natural Resources practice, based in Houston. He advises oil and gas companies and investors on strategies to drive value and deliver lasting performance improvement.
His experience spans the upstream and downstream oil and gas sectors, energy and petroleum services, fuels and convenience retail, and private equity.
Bob works with clients on corporate and business strategy, business model development, organizational design, and large-scale transformation. He also advises on transactions, from due diligence and post-acquisition strategy to the integration of assets, networks, and organizations.
Creating lasting value in energy takes more than a strong strategy. It requires making clear choices about where to compete, how to organize, and how to turn those decisions into change that works in practice

In this role, he analyzed global industrial markets, developed strategies to address trade barriers, and participated in negotiations with government officials from Japan, the European Union, and ASEAN countries at the GATT in Geneva.
