Frontier, CEO Gayle Meikle Embarks on Executive Programme in Managing Mining, Oil and Gas for National Development at Oxford

Next stop for this kid from a remote corner of Africa: Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford! 💫

I’m thrilled to have been accepted into the Executive Programme in Managing Mining, Oil and Gas for National Development, a course specifically designed for nations rich in these resources and senior professionals and policymakers working in the space. Recommended to me by two incredible women in my life, Maggy Shino and Valerie Marcel!

After over 20 years of honing my knowledge, skills, network, resources, and reputation in the oil and gas industry, this moment feels like a culmination of all my efforts. I’m eager to contribute to this distinguished group of participants.

This experience, alongside ministerial and government representatives from countries across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe—such as Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Mongolia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, USA, and Spain—will deepen Frontier's role as a leading advisor through our specialised Marketing & Promotion (M&P) services in helping governments unlock their sustainable resources for the future.

Effective management and governance of oil, gas, and mineral resources are crucial. This programme brings together leaders who shape the development and policies of the extractive sector, aiming to create meaningful and lasting economic and social outcomes for resource-rich countries.

I look forward to sharing my insights and experiences with all of you. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey, especially Daniel Davidson and my amazing team at Frontier and you, my network.

It’s an incredible feeling to follow your dreams and work towards a deeper understanding of how to responsibly unlock oil and gas wealth.
