A career in energy and innovation
Cheryl began her career studying chemical engineering and her first role out of college was as a process engineer in a polyester fiber manufacturing plant . “ I decided I wanted to go back to school to get my master ’ s in business , so I studied at the
Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania . I rejoined the company that I was with previously , but became more involved in marketing , business development , and market research . “ I eventually moved to BP and spent the bulk of my early career there . I started as an internal consultant and worked with businesses , helping them to develop strategies for growth moving on to managing a P & L , leading international sales and marketing and leading commercial operations for a major business unit . When I left BP , I went to work for a telecoms company which may seem like an unconventional move , but I was looking at developing communications solutions for energy sectors . I came in as a subject matter expert to help drive development of digital solutions suited to the industry . I then worked as an independent consultant before joining Worley . At Worley I worked as the Americas Strategy Director to support their pivot to energy transition . I was successful in helping to facilitate that pivot and happy in my position when I was approached by Ramboll .” Intrigued by its sustainability ambition and growth focus in the region , she jumped at the opportunity to lead the organization in the Americas .
“ I think one of the biggest challenges is prioritizing where we can have the biggest impact . From a climate change standpoint , there are so many challenges in terms of determining the appropriate technological solutions . We have a very broad and diverse set of capabilities , we want to make sure we are targeting opportunities that will be support our clients and make the biggest impact on driving sustainability . At Ramboll , we are prioritizing our focus areas to ensure we have the appropriate market strategies in place .
