500强公司中推动行业变革的“小人物”们
斯塔利•赛克斯,39岁 深水项目副总裁 公司:英国石油 世界500强排名:第6位 “我是我们家族第一位女性工程师。” 作为一个男性主导的行业里的女性,以及无数财务大师中的运营专家,斯塔利•赛克斯非常引人瞩目。身为公司高管,她在安哥拉、巴西和特立尼达的时间,要多于在休斯敦办公室的时间。那么她的工作是什么?——从全世界最棘手的地区开采石油。她是一位德州人,也是六个孩子的母亲,负责14个深水钻探项目,因此可以说她掌握着英国石油的未来。她说:“面对挑战,我从未说不。” |
Starlee Sykes, 39 Vice President, Deepwater Projects BP No. 6 (Global 500)“I was the first woman in my family to become an engineer.” Starlee Sykes stands out. A woman in a man’s industry. An operations expert in a sea of financial gurus. An executive who spends more time in Angola, Brazil, and Trinidad than in her Houston office. Her job? Extract oil from some of the world’s trickiest spots. The gig puts Sykes—one of six kids and a Texan—in charge of 14 deepwater drilling projects and, in turn, BP’s future. Says Sykes: “I’ve never said no to a challenge.” —Stacey Higginbotham |
