Our new Change Mak­er: Elis­a­beth Proust joins Renoir Con­sult­ing as Senior Advisor

Renoir Con­sult­ing, a glob­al man­age­ment con­sul­tan­cy spe­cial­is­ing in sus­tain­able change, wel­comes Elis­a­beth Proust to its pan­el of Senior Advisors.

The oil and gas sec­tor is one that is con­stant­ly chang­ing. How­ev­er, like the indus­try itself, major themes impact­ing the indus­try also exhibits a cycli­cal nature with themes relat­ed to cli­mate, ESG and the impor­tance of infra­struc­ture, com­ing back into the spotlight.

Thus, since the begin­ning of Jan­u­ary 2020, Elis­a­beth Proust has come on-board Renoir Group as Senior Advi­sor, after spend­ing more than 35 years at Total.

Elisabeth’s list of accom­plish­ments in Total is noth­ing short of impres­sive. In addi­tion to her engi­neer­ing exper­tise – she has a Bach­e­lor of Applied Sci­ence degree in hydro­dy­nam­ics from Ecole Cen­trale de Nantes as well as a Diplo­ma in drilling, reser­voir and pro­duc­tion engi­neer­ing from the French Insti­tute of Petro­le­um – she brings exten­sive multi-country expe­ri­ence in the oil and gas sec­tor at an exec­u­tive lev­el, and was its first female vice pres­i­dent for devel­op­ment engi­neer­ing for Total worldwide.

Her career pro­gres­sion has seen her hold­ing mul­ti­ple lead­er­ship roles as a man­ag­ing direc­tor of Total’s affil­i­ates in Indone­sia, Nige­ria and final­ly, the UK.

In speak­ing about his vision for Renoir’s oil and gas prac­tice, Krish­na Pau­pamah, Founder and Group CEO of Renoir Con­sult­ing adds: “We are build­ing an oil and gas prac­tice that spans oper­a­tional improve­ment through to trans­for­ma­tion includ­ing agile and dig­i­tal. The aim is to build this prac­tice glob­al­ly, and Elisabeth’s long stand­ing senior­i­ty in the indus­try and hence her tremen­dous knowl­edge and net­work in the sec­tor will stand us in good stead.”
