Frank Brandauer — Where the Rubber Meets the Road
For more than 30 years I have been engaged in the practice of Environmental, Health and Safety Management first for the domestic exploration and production of oil and gas and next for Avery Dennison’s international manufacturing operations. As an engineer and an EHS Leader the goal has always been clear, the protection of human life and our environment. What has always held the greatest interest for me is not the “what” but the “how.” How do you actually get it done? What works and what does not? How do we make things better and not worse? Join with me in the exploration and discussion of real, tangible and pragmatic solutions to EHS challenges.
Alex Pollock — Inspiring EHS and Sustainability Leaders
I’ve been a student of leadership effectiveness for most of the 32 years I spent at The Dow Chemical Company, where I held leadership roles in Environment, Health and Safety, and Public Affairs. During my time in the corporate EHS world I confirmed that we all have leadership roles to play and fortunately with the proper coaching and development we can all become better leaders. This is where my passion lies and as I movefoward with new challenges, I yearn to continuously improvemy leadership competencies and concurrently help others to improve theirs. Journey with me as we uncover, share and discuss practical ways we can apply that help each of us be the kind of leaders that our “followers” long for us to be.
Steven Ramsey — Negotiating the Deal with the C Suite
As a former Vice President at GE, I’ve focused heavily on the development and implementation of world-class corporate EHSpolicies, management systems and programs on a global scale.
