Global supply chain and operations implementation consulting firm, SGS Maine Pointe, a member of the SGS Group, announced today that it has appointed Sheehan Gallagher as Managing Director for the firm’s Energy Consulting practice. In this role, Sheehan will be accountable for global business development and account management, as well as solutions oversight and delivery, with specific focus on expanding SGS Maine Pointe’s client base within upstream oil & gas and oilfield service companies.
SGS Maine Pointe’s Energy Consulting practice team focuses on delivering cost enhancements, performance improvements, risk reduction, and increased operational efficiency to global energy companies.
“My 22 years of consulting and senior-level industry experience in the global energy industry have led up to this exciting new position at SGS Maine Pointe,” said Gallagher. “I am looking forward to bringing my deep industry and supply chain experience to SGS Maine Pointe’s clients and working with them to achieve their most ambitious goals and deliver dramatic improvements. I am especially pleased to be able to leverage the expertise of Maine Pointe’s team of subject matter experts, who all bring years of practical experience to the table.”
Prior to joining SGS Maine Pointe, Sheehan served as Senior Director at Wood Mackenzie, where he managed the oil & gas vertical in their supply chain consulting practice. His industry experience includes 20 years working for BP in a variety of senior leadership positions, including serving as supply chain manager for operations in Alaska, Iraq, and northern Africa. Over the course of his career, Sheehan has managed large teams in London, Tripoli, Iraq, and Buenos Aires, as well as multiple sites across the United States. He has taken on complex EPC projects, onshore and deepwater drilling rigs and well services, seismic processing agreements, and other services in support of oil & gas exploration and production.
“We are very pleased to have Sheehan on board, and are anxious to take full advantage of his deep level of insight and practical experience in the energy industry,” said Steve Ottley, Head of Chemicals & Energy at SGS Maine Pointe. “His insights into the industry’s challenges and opportunities – and his understanding of the global markets – we are looking forward to Sheehan helping to deliver outstanding results to our existing and future clients in this industry.”
