Business Development, CIECO E&P
Chris Brown has worked in upstream strategy, business development and commercial across many countries and cultures. Starting as an engineer in the North Sea, Chris discovered mentoring relatively late in his career when he himself was mentored. This proved to be a transformational experience, motivating him to lead a series of successful deals and acquisitions in various countries including Northern Iraq, Tunisia, Australia, Norway and UK. Chris is a Chartered Engineer and a member of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators where he mentors as part of their programme for Young Negotiators, as well as within his own organisation Cieco Exploration & Production and elsewhere within the profession. Today Chris would like to show that mentoring is not only a great way to help move young careers forward but it has a much wider range of benefits for both parties, all at zero cost!
