SIMON BOEHME, PwC: Working capital opportunities in the energy sector
Simon Boehme is a Director in PwC’s working capital network with over 10 years’ of experience running working capital projects and cash generation programmes in multiple energy related industries (renewable energy, oil & gas, OFS and electricity utilities). He has supported clients across the world with assessing their current performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and driving the realisation of these.
Simon is one of the principal authors of the 2016 PwC Annual Global Working Capital Opportunity study, which analyses how successful companies are when it comes to releasing working capital and accessing cash to grow their business. Working capital is important to every company, but it’s particularly important for energy companies now, who have to cope with dramatically compressed commodity prices in an uncertain economic environment. Companies which aggressively address all levers of working capital in a sustainable way will emerge stronger and be well positioned for growth. The session held by Simon will cover the working capital study results and show you where the opportunities for releasing cash lie within the energy sector.
