Houston, TX – May 25, 2020 – Sodexo Energy & Resources announced today that CEO Stephanie Hertzog is featured on the  latest episode of Flipping The Barrel’s podcast series.

Hertzog joined Sodexo last year as CEO Energy & Resources North America. She is conscious of the role she can play to develop the leaders of tomorrow and is driving diversity and inclusion to develop a culture that attracts and inspires women and younger generations. 

“According to research conducted by McKinsey & Company, only a third of entry-level employees in the oil and gas industry are female, which puts the industry last in female participation when compared to other sectors,” said Stephanie Hertzog. “Once hired, entry-level young women look for role models in positions to which they aspire, but few higher up on the ladder look like them.”

Founded in 2019 and hosted by Maissel Diez and Jamie Elrod, Flipping The Barrel is an empowering podcast series that provides insight into the current state of the energy industry, inviting industry leaders, both men and women, to discuss a variety of topics. 

“Men still dominate the oil patch, but women continue to carve out their turf in the energy business, and Stephanie is a prime example as she has piloted her way to the top,” said Flipping the Barrel hosts. “We were thrilled to have her join us to discuss her path to success.”

Continued Hertzog, “Massiel and Jamie have created an impactful platform for industry experts to hear real stories and influences that are driving change in our industry. I enjoyed sharing my perspective, hopefully inspiring other women entering the field.”
