On this month\\u2019s episode of the Women\\u2019s Energy Council podcast, we were joined by Lindsey McCarty, co-founder, Managing Partner, and COO for Selenite Energy Partners, and Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes, Director, Co-Founder, and President within Black Mountain Group. Having both begun their careers in the oilfield just over a decade ago, Ashley and Lindsey describe the challenges they faced as female engineers on production sites in the 2000s. While there have been strides over the past few decades towards equality of opportunity in technical roles, their experiences illustrate the subtle nature of persisting injustice in the energy workplace today. Now, as employers themselves, they are seizing the opportunity to do better by their own employees, and discuss the importance of improving representation, acknowledging one\\u2019s own biases and holding perpetrators of injustice accountable. Enjoy the episode!
