Cindy B. Taylor

Few corporate profiles in the energy services sector reflect as consistent a rise through the ranks as that of Cindy B. Taylor. She is the Chief Executive Officer and President of Oil States International and has served in that dual capacity since May 2007. Her route to the executive office was internal and deliberate: she moved from Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to President and Chief Operating Officer before assuming full leadership of the company. That progression meant she was intimately familiar with Oil States International's financials, operations, and culture long before taking the top seat. She also sits on the company's Board of Directors, where she contributes both operational insight and strategic perspective. Before her tenure at Oil States, Taylor held senior roles at other organizations within and adjacent to the energy industry.
