Greg Niellez
Greg has consistently delivered results for Oil & Gas, Energy, and Energy Services companies, ranging from $150M to $2B global businesses. He has been engaged to initiate turnaround efforts, enhance supply chains, optimize operational strategies, improve margins, and maximize business growth. The following are a few benchmark achievements:
Billion Dollar Revenue Generation and Cost Reductions
Shareholders of a marquee Energy Services Provider desired to divest a non-core business while restarting operations. Greg was recruited by the CEO to improve margins and exceed client expectations for divestment. He instituted a 4-phase plan that included introducing readiness planning, cost control and instituting lean/agile, enforcing accountability, and mitigating the adverse effects of COVID. This mobilization was executed without delays, which reduced OPEX by 20% ($1.1M/month), improved Field Margin from 27% to 45%, and elevated EBITDA YoY from 5% to 45% (between 2020 and 2021).
Excellence in Process or Procedure Transformation
Greg was engaged by an oil & gas client to mitigate a crisis internally/externally and restart operations after a tragic, fatal helicopter crash killed 2 employees. He traveled to the crash site to gather evidence, conduct interviews, and correspond with local authorities and the client. His investigation revealed procedures were followed, and 90% of the barriers were in place to avoid the accident, which eased Board tensions. He overhauled protocols with an Aviation expert to mitigate future issues and restart operations, then completed the project to the client’s satisfaction.
