Catherine KeddieHOST
us a bit about your journey and what got you here and also what you learned through working in oil and gas that you've applied to your learnings at Lean Energy.

Will TopeGUEST
So I started my career as a process engineer in the oil and gas industry down at the Foley Refinery in the UK and in Southampton.

Will TopeGUEST
But I only lasted a year or so at that until I was kind of plucked out into a more commercial setting, which I think both parties recognize might be a little bit closer to my my area of expertize.

Will TopeGUEST
And I spent just over 10 years in the commercial side of oil and gas where I went through a lot of early days.
