“Taking Energy Forward” with Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes CEO.

Thank you to Energy Workforce & Technology Council for being a proud sponsor of our Podcast.

We have Lorenzo Simonelli, the CEO of Baker Hughes, on the podcast today. We get personal with Lorenzo, asking him - “What a day in the life”, of Lorenzo looks like, as a CEO of a billion dollar Global Energy company. We dig deep into the culture of Baker Hughes, his views on Diversity, how he is positioning Baker in the Energy Transition and his outlook on the future of oil and gas. 

Lorenzo believes in executing on what you can control and always keep a open mind to learning something new. He talks about becoming a CEO at a young age and how he did not focus on where he will be 10 years from now but instead concentrated in excelling in the role he was in today. Lorenzo had the opportunity to move 27 times in his career, some questioned his moves but each location brought on a pivotal learning experience. 

Lorenzo talks about the merger with GE and what he would have changed, if given the opportunity to go back in time. We discuss Social Media and how active he is on LinkedIn. He believes it's part of the role. It's always better to be open and vocal, it's important to be active. He finds it as a great way to communicate with employees and stakeholders.

Lorenzo truly leads by example and pushes his team to be at the leading edge of the Energy Transition. Lorenzo shares his strategy on the Net 0 commitment by 2050. He explains the three pillars in place at Baker to support customers in becoming Net 0. 

Lorenzo shares what the company has learned through the pandemic and the changes they made at Baker to accommodate a flexible work schedule.
