Podcast overview
As a board member with the vantage point from three diverse public companies: BP, AbbVie, National Oilwell Varco, as well as a trustee at Trinity University, Melody Meyer has a front row seat to COVID-19 response across an oil & gas company, a pharmaceutical company, an oilfield services provider, and a private university.
In conversation with Regina Mayor, KPMG’s Global and U.S. Head of Energy, Meyer highlights the way current conditions are impacting these different sectors and how boards are responding.

- How key partnerships, including those with shared economies and resources, lend resiliency in a time of crisis
