Fumy Rita, LAGCOE Interim Executive Director:
“So our last session. Thank you so much for being here. Today we are going to have a panel as you know … “
Jill Meaux, Excelerant:
“This is about the culmination as she said. Turning your learning into leadership, being leaders in your industry, in your company, in your communities. And so we have some leaders here that are excited to share about their journey.”
Greg Hernandez, Arena Offshore, LLC:
“I think that teamwork what I’ve learned in this industry is you can surround yourself with some extremely talented individuals, and if you put the right team together, you can achieve some amazing accomplishments. Really understanding that team concept, that you don’t have to be an individual. You don’t have to do it all by yourself. Team concept.”
Larry Tolleson, Renaissance Offshore:
“I think we’re all working on a team even though they’re very small companies, our company’s very small. Supportive comes to mind. It gives people autonomy. It makes them feel like they can make their own decisions. Being supportive of what people are saying and thinking. …”
Brenda Stelly, Oil Center Research International:
“For me it’s always seeking new opportunities. Don’t become complacent. In the 90s, when the price of oil went below, a gallon of oil was less than a gallon of water, we started looking for other industries to sell to like mining and we tried to find new uses for our products. We make coatings, and we realized we can coat fish nets. We can coat sports nets. Just really thinking outside of the box and finding new opportunities.”
