Welcome to "Energy Sector Heroes." I'm your host, Michelle Fraser, and today, we're honored to introduce our distinguished guest, Andy Samuel CBE. Andy served as Chief Executive of the UK Government's North Sea Transition Authority (formerly the Oil & Gas Authority) from its inception in 2015 until December 2022. He played a pivotal role in setting up this new organization, redefining the vision for the UK Continental Shelf and spearheading strategies for the energy transition. Passionate about the global energy transition's urgency and potential, Andy incorporated the concept of net zero into the OGA's strategy. He brings extensive experience, including roles at BG Group, where he spent over 20 years, and holds an MA in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University. Join us as we explore the realms of energy, sustainability, and leadership with Andy Samuel, an influential figure known for managing complexity and driving positive change in both commercial and government systems.
