Third generation Oil and Gas Bill Henn, grew up in a small town on a farm in Kansas, 1 of 6 kids. Life was all about God, family and work. Bill studied computer science and quickly realized he did not want to sit behind a desk and program all day for the rest of his life. He decided to switch into engineering technology.

Once he graduated, he moved to Houston in 1988 when the job market crashed. He got his first break as a field engineer working for Baroid, after his interview, they asked him to pack his bags and was immediately shipped offshore. The boat ride was horrendous, he got sea sick several times and once he arrived to the platform, he quit on his first day!

Communication, discipline and staying together as a family is a hard balance when you are working 60/30. Bill provides his insight into managing the international life and what a Global Account Manager really does. He handled growth upwards of a billion dollars during that role. He deep dives into the amount of product lines and client relationships that had to be closely linked in order to meet the company's goals.

During his time at HAL, he helped found and lead the Women's Sharing Excellence Program, which is still active today. Find out why he thought it was an important program to start and how they made it a success internally. He has always been a big advocate of Diversity and Inclusion in our industry.

30 years later, Bill is still in the industry and has had an amazing career in O&G. Listen to this episode to find out what changed, how he made his way to the top and how his career strived at Halliburton for several decades before moving into a new adventure at a start up.
