Podcast: Women In Energy, Ep. 3 - Owning The Table

Hart Energy’s Women In Energy podcast is back with another installment focused on managing from the top level and the path of one industry executive to leading her own company.

In this episode, Ann Fox, president and CEO of Nine Energy Service Inc., joined hosts Jessica Morales and Emily Patsy to discuss what she’s learned from holding the top position at a leading oilfield services company and the advice she has for the younger generation.

Fox, who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq in the U.S. Marine Corps, spoke with us about her entry into the energy industry (1-minute mark) after her service.

She also spoke more about her experiences in the military (1:45) and how that molded her into the leader she is today (4:15). One of the correlations between her military service and time with Nine Energy that she shared was her approach to the downturn after assuming the CEO role in 2015 (4:45).

In addition, Fox talked about the moment she felt she had found her calling in life while still early on in her career (8:25).

Lastly, Fox shared advice on building a strong team (10:10), mentors (11:55) and millennials (13:10).
