She partners with executive teams, project leaders, and operational stakeholders to align strategy, leadership, and human performance—ensuring work is delivered safely, on schedule, and to the highest standard of operational excellence.
Elyse brings decades of experience managing risk and team performance in complex, high-consequence environments. At Whitefish Mountain Resort, she earned the National Ski Area Association’s Best Overall Safety Program Award twice for building cohesive teams that prevent and mitigate critical incidents.
Globally, Elyse spent six years at Chevron in senior safety roles supporting high-risk offshore and onshore operations, including drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, hook-up and commissioning work in Angola, Africa, and project operations in Bulgaria for Chevron’s Future Growth Project in Kazakhstan. She built and led programs in incident investigation, contractor safety management, occupational hygiene, and cross-functional risk mitigation, ensuring operational teams could execute safely and efficiently across multiple countries and regulatory environments. Her work at Chevron earned her the 2018 GRIT Award from ALLY Energy for outstanding safety leadership and engagement.
