With over 25 years of experience in O&G SCADA and OT solutions, James has worked in the upstream and midstream segments as both an operator and as a vendor including greenfield implementations, system upgrades and implementations, and service/support.  James believes the IT/OT convergence is only going to accelerate with many systems now dependent on increasingly complex IT technology and as cybersecurity continues to be an ever-evolving requirement.  But, none of this beats kicking back with family and friends, BBQing and enjoying great food.
