What NASCAR Taught Me About Process Excellence In Oil & Gas

How do you go from professional stock car racing to running a successful subsea oil and gas business?

In this podcast we speak with former NASCAR driver and CEO and Founder of T-Rex E&C, Bobby Hillin Jnr. about the skills he has taken from speedway and applied in an oil and gas context at his HQ in Houston.

At the age of 22, Bobby became the youngest driver in the modern era of Winston Cup Racing to win an event, and the youngest driver ever to win on a super speedway. In the course of this interview we focus on:

  • The most important facets of building a new business to serve offshore oil and gas

  • The most important performance challenges to face up to in the coming year

  • The lessons and experiences that 20+ years of racing has brought and can be transferred to T-Rex?

  • How to successful communicate and motivate frontline employees to strive to work harder and better
