Glen Maynard

Expertise

Across more than 35 years at Conoco and Devon Energy, Glen was the lawyer leadership kept expanding his role outside any one department, from crisis command to service groups whose executive had left. He has run incident command through well emergencies and COVID, taken over leadership of aviation, security, and facilities teams whose work he could not do personally, and co-led a legal department rebuild. He walks the floor and asks each group what it needs to be successful. He gives constructive feedback by his rule: "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."
