Prior to joining Talos, Ms. Fielder served as President, CEO and a member of the Noble Midstream Partners board of directors where she guided the Partnership within Chevron.She spent a majority of her career at Anadarko.
She is an extraordinary mother of 2, cancer survivor and recently recognized as the 2022 top 25 influential women in Energy by Hart Energy.
Robin grew up in Deer Park Texas, immersed in the refining industry. Deer Park is the hub for oil refineries, in the 80s they were an essential financial support to the school districts in the area, as they still are today. For this reason Robin was exposed to the energy industry early on as a young girl and she fell in love with engineering. Her father encouraged her to pursue engineering as he told her “ Those guys/gals are always the boss and Robin you need to be the boss”.
Robin spent 17 years at Anadarko moving up the ranks. She walks us through her journey and how sponsors were an essential piece to her growth to becoming a CEO in 2018, when she became President & CEO of Western Midstream. The company was formed by Anadarko to acquire, own, develop, and operate midstream assets. Then shortly after, Anadarko was acquired by OXY in 2019 and she went on to become president & CEO of Noble Midstream Partners until July of 2021- shortly after Chevron acquired it. Right in the heart of covid. Robin talks about the uncertainty during these times and how she managed to lead her team through 2 buy outs and a pandemic before taking her role as EVP and CSO at Talos Energy.
Robin gives her perspective on how we can continue to attract more women into the energy industry and how sponsors play a big role in changing the narrative. We talk about non-negotables and how they play an important part in your career growth. Robin is a believer that you can have it all but there is no “work life balance”. The pendulum will swing depending on what's important at the moment.
After having her second son Robin was diagnosed with breast cancer. 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men will develop cancer in their lifetime. She takes us back to this moment and the steps she took to manage to keep her life as normal as possible, as she overcame one of the hardest diagnoses she had to face.
Robin talks about the early years of being a mother and how essential parental leave is to the family dynamic. She brings up the importance of prioritization with your children and understanding what is important to them.
