25 Influential Women in Energy 2023

Hart Energy and Oil and Gas Investor are honored to spotlight 25 talented women who have risen to the top ranks of the oil and gas industry and their energy companies, providing leadership and inspiration to many.

Entering its sixth year, we have selected again 25 extraordinary leaders, based on their numerous professional accomplishments, demonstrated leadership aptitudes and service to the community and the industry. We received dozens of nominations from the energy industry, our editorial sources and their peers.

These women come from all walks of life and represent a small but growing group of impressive women who are breaking through barriers in a male-dominated field. In these pages of this special report, you will find in-depth profiles on each honoree, highlighting their achievements and how they got there.

Some of our honorees entered the oil patch for the love of it or by following the footsteps’ of their parents and grandparents, while others arrived by chance. One honoree had plans to become a forensic scientist but, through unexpected events, the industry lured her to a successful technology career with a major oilfield service company.

Each of these honorees is unique and, indeed, very impressive.

The class of 2023 represents E&P companies, technology, the largest oilfield service companies, worldwide globetrotters, private equity providers and more. They contribute their knowledge across the spectrum of oil and gas as C-suite executives, geologists, engineers, entrepreneurs, financial gurus, technology leaders, association heads, general counsel and energy transition experts.

2023 is expected to bring a new set of challenges and better yet, the opportunity for more progress in the oil and gas industry—and this class of role models is ready and prepared to take on whatever comes its way.

Many of our honorees agree that the oil and gas industry is entering an exciting time, presenting enormous opportunities for women all around. Honoree Teresa Thomas’, a partner at Deloitte, sentiment is, “There is no other industry that so directly fuels the future and enables progress in every other.

“This is an incredible time in history, and we need all brains at the table with innovative ideas and energy to navigate the energy transition,” she said.

The industry can agree on that.

Congratulations to Hart Energy’s 2023 25 Influential Women in Energy.
