Warren Lee-vi is Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar E&P. Jaguar E&P is a Mexican private company established in 2014 by Grupo Topaz with a strong conviction of strengthening Mexicos national energy industry and developing their communities. He has extensive experience in developing natural resource companies, for more than 24 years, in more than 20 countries. He has contributed strategically to the economic growth and development of the Energy industry in Latin America. What is really interesting is that Warren is a fellow Canadian who studied engineering at Queen's university.
Canadian born with little interest in joining the oil Industry . His father worked for Exxon, he didn’t envision his path to be the same. Like what happens to many of us, the love for the industry and opportunities to travel the world took Warren over, ultimately changing his mind.
Working within diverse cultures was very common for Warren. With 17 years spent at SLB from Latina America to Asia and back, he had an extensive career moving up the ladder before choosing to leave to start Estrella International Energy Services. Warren walks us through his time at Schlumberger and the successful leaders SLB creates through their training program. He describes the pros and cons of the programs and how he took the core values he admired at SLB and the ones he didn’t, to form the culture at Estrella.
In 2009 he decided it was more important to keep his operations team at Estrella then take a paycheck himself. Warren and his partners decided to not take a salary in order to continue to develop the company in the midst of a downturn . Warren shares his experiences with building a team made up of his close friends and the challenges that arise when things get tough.
Not long after his success at Estrella he was approached to become CEO of Jaguar . The top leading service company in South America . This would lead to another move for his dual career wife and two children. Warren brings us back to this time and how the family handled each move throughout his career. He talks about Jaguar being different, the founders truly cared about their employees and their families.
Warren and his team are taking steps to break the mold. They view their people as the core value and asset of the company . As a key supporter for diversity and inclusion, Warren gives his views on what is holding women back, how he is changing this mindset at Jaguar and building a strong diverse team across all parts of the business.
