Richard Williams

A consultant working in the Canadian energy sector.

I am the principal of Eos Research & Consulting, an independent consulting practice that focuses on sustainability issues in the energy sector. I have more than 15 years experience in the Canadian oil and gas sector, including the past five years assisting energy sector companies and regulatory agencies. Previously, I filled a series of management roles with Westcoast Energy Inc. (now Spectra Energy) culminating in the role of Director responsible for environment, health and safety.

My professional focus includes regulatory process improvement, capital project development, risk management systems, stakeholder engagement and climate change risk management.

Before becoming involved in the energy business I worked for six years in investment and commercial banking. I started my career as an aquatic biologist working in western and northern Canada.

I received an MBA from the University of Western Ontario (Ivey) and a B.Sc. from Simon Fraser University.
