“The company that I worked for for 20 years, at that time, they were looking for a lot of people. They were growing very fast. So I ended up there by coincidence, actually, I was 20 years old, so I did not really have a very strong ambition to go in the oil and gas industry, but I ended up there. And, I mean, in the early years, I really liked it.”
