Episode Overview

In this episode of Taproom Talks Kenny is joined by Bob Morgan of Baker Hughes, a Services and Projects Delivery Director in the Middle East, who discusses his two-decade career journey from a mechanical fitter in Aberdeen to a global leader.

Bob shares his experiences working offshore in places like the North Sea, Angola, and Houston, emphasizing that success in the Middle East is built on long-term relationships and cultural immersion, which helped his flexible pipe business grow exponentially to over $200 million.

He also touches on the importance of embracing diverse cultures in leadership, championing team well-being, and advises young people in the energy sector to focus on hard work and mentorship rather than seeking immediate senior roles.
