We want to congratulate Jennifer in her newly appointed role as Director of Climate and ESG Policy, at the American Petroleum institute ( API).
Jennifer Stewart is a senior energy executive with over 30 years of legal, financial and environmental strategy experience. She is the Principal Advisor for Equitable Origin EO100™ Standard for Responsible Energy Development. She also serves as an independent Board Member of Paragon Integrated Services where she chairs the Sustainability Committee and has recently taken a board seat on Seek Ops.
She has received recognition for women’s leadership in the oil and gas industry, including the Houston Business Journal’s Top Women in Energy, the National Diversity Council’s Top 50 Women in Oil and Gas, and the Greater Houston Women’s Chamber of Commerce Trailblazer Award.
Jennifer grew up in Ohio, married her high school sweetheart whose job took them out of state. This led Jennifer into the first part of her career, working for the IRS. At the time she did not have her law degree and found herself working with lawyers, who quite frankly she felt more competent then or at least equal to. This sparked a fire in her to go back to school, despite the fact she had a full time job and two little kids at home. She quickly found herself drained, tired and unsure if she would be able to finish. She walks us through this period in her life and how she managed to pull it off.
Jennifer found herself in an interview with South Western Energy, not knowing anything about upstream oil and gas. The first role of its kind at the company, as the Vice President of Tax. She felt isolated at the start, since the position was a brand new role, as an independent contributor. She talks about how she defined success for her, this strategy made her indispensable at SWN. She was quickly noticed and found herself being asked to take over as CFO in a not so normal situation. You have to listen to find out what happened.
Throughout Jennifer's story she created roles that didn’t exist before her, that are now common within companies today. She provides advice on creating value through self study and learning from the team when taking on a newly created position or job. This strategy brought her to becoming one of the most sought after leaders in the ESG, Certification and the Climate change space.
