Brandon is an engineer who uses the principles and processes of composition to transform the energy industry. His multidisciplinary experience working with international business units spans design, operations, safety, software, and human systems. As a big thinker, he is focused on re-imagining the energy industry and designing systems that can deal with complexity in an integrated way and at a global scale. He completed his undergraduate petroleum engineering degree in 2011 and joined Chevron that year as a wells engineer working in California. He held multiple positions in California, including managing field operations and several years of designing wells as part of a field-wide asset development program. In addition, he oversaw several technical standards and led the business unit’s efforts to assure process safety of both well designs and operations. For his next assignment, Brandon worked as a performance engineer supporting Chevron’s Appalachia unconventional natural gas assets. In this role he pioneered data analytics, business intelligence, and modeling skills to transform engineering workflows and influence the global direction of Chevron’s digital transformation. He continued his journey into technology and innovation by taking a digital program manager role for the enterprise health, environment, and safety organization. This assignment led him back to California, where he was responsible for transforming the digital delivery model and implementing a scaled agile framework to deliver business value. Brandon’s commitment to digital technology and innovation led him to be selected by Chevron’s inaugural scholar program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT, Brandon received his masters degree in engineering and management. He was a fellow of the system design and management program, where he learned how to use systems thinking to create effective and creative multidisciplinary solutions for large-scale, complex challenges in product design, development, and innovation. For his thesis, Brandon conducted a system theoretic process analysis of Chevron’s global assurance program to address emerging needs in the energy industry. He was also a fellow of the MIT energy initiative during his time in Cambridge. Since returning from his academic sabbatical in 2020, Brandon has been applying principles of integration and systems engineering to re-imagine the way work is done at Chevron. Specifically, in his current role, he is responsible for the research, design, and implementation of technologies that helps Chevron prioritize, manage, and integrate decisions at scale. Brandon enjoys giving guest lectures and participating in cross-industry panels. He most recently hosted a session at Texas Data Day on how to scale knowledge graphs when there is no consensus. He currently lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife and children. Connect with Brandon - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonbaylor
