Jill Lampert joined the workforce at a time when heels, skirts and pantyhose were office requirements for working women. Times have changed, and so too has the approach to workplace equality. Lampert is leading those efforts as she strives to help professional women build the networks necessary to succeed.
“It’s not just important that women are treated fairly, but also that they have the opportunity to connect,” Lampert says. “It’s hard when you’re the only female at an energy company, which is often times the case.”
With the support of her employer, NGP, Lampert implemented a program in 2017 that aims to increase the company’s connections with women in energy. She’s actively organizing networking events in industry hubs such as Houston, Denver and Dallas to meet the next wave of female leaders.
“We’re talking about up-and-comers; like-minded women who we think may be the next CEO of one of our portfolio companies,” Lampert says. “It takes meeting and connecting with people that we haven’t had exposure to before to accomplish that. “NGP has been very supportive of the women’s energy efforts because we want to invest in the best talent, and if you leave out women we are missing out on opportunity.”
