On the Edge - Not in the Hedge! Leadership and Managing Risk in a Fast-Growing Business and Changing Energy Landscape
A straight-talking view on what it really takes to build and grow successful service businesses in the energy sector.
In this keynote, Doug Duguid, CEO of Aurora Energy Services and Indigo 7 Ventures, shares an experience-led perspective on entrepreneurship, leadership, and decision-making. Drawing on a career spanning more than four decades — from mechanical fitter to CEO of three different international service companies — he challenges over reliance on conventional business management techniques, and highlights the importance of taking risks, action, resilience, and instinct in business success.
Through real-world examples of growth, risk, and leadership under pressure, Doug explores how opportunities are recognised and acted upon, why risk is unavoidable, and how strong teams underpin enduring businesses.
