our clients in the global energy and oil and gas industry a priority for our thought leadership as
evidenced by the 22 case studies we have written specifically focusing on the energy and oil and gas
sectors. We have worked with some of the largest energy companies in the world, as well as industry
service providers from across the entire industry value chain. Thunderbirds clients in this dynamic
industry span the globe from Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Chad, Kuwait, Norway, Cameroon, Brazil,
Singapore, Indonesia, and Mexico to Louisiana, Texas, California, and Colorado.
The thousands who have participated in Thunderbird Executive Educations global energy and oil and
gas programs represent a vast array of industry professionals people from almost every dimension of
the energy value chain. Their ranks include frontline leaders to some of the most senior executives:
those who have been involved in moving the industry forward and those just beginning their leadership
journey polyethylene channel managers to refining mix optimizers, regional controllers to country tax
specialists, general managers to exploration managers.
Thunderbird knows how individual contributors, team leaders, and senior managers think and behave
in the global energy industry. We understand the context and topics with which they are generally
more comfortable, such as science and engineering, as well as those with which they are often less
comfortable, such as culture change, stakeholder interests and engagement, business and financial
innovations, managing diversity and inclusion, and national and political power-based interests.
Of particular importance to Thunderbirds development as a globally recognized authority on the
global oil and gas industry is our longstanding relationship as a multi-level talent development partner
to ExxonMobil. For more than two decades, Thunderbird Executive Education has contributed to the
development of more than 11,000 ExxonMobil managers and leaders from all over the world.
