OIL AND GAS

Fossil fuels are still the foundation of the energy supply for most of the world's economies. However, the oil and gas industry itself is in an almost constant state of flux as global macroeconomic and geopolitical trends shape commodity prices and demand.

Against this backdrop, the most successful energy companies of the coming decades - regardless of their size, market or heritage - will have one thing in common: outstanding talent and leadership.

Energy is at the core of Ducatus Partners. We are recognized as the preeminent executive search firm in the oil and gas industry, and we continue to play a critical role in helping to source and develop the next generation of leaders through our executive search and advisory services.

CASE STUDY

BUILDING AN EXECUTIVE TEAM TO SUPPORT GLOBAL EXPANSION

Our client, a midcap exploration and production company, needed to hire a new senior executive and multiple senior hires after acquiring acreage in the US.

Up until that point, 95% of the company's assets had been outside the US. They had no existing local office, and no onboarding capability in North America.

Ducatus Partners stepped in to help appoint a senior vice president to lead the expansion, as well as an extensive senior team to build operational capability at the new site.
