This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike Pettigrew, the CEO of ASCO, a global leader in materials management and logistics for the energy sector. Mike’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From reshaping undervalued organizations to leading transitions in one of the world’s most dynamic industries, he shares his candid insights on what it takes to lead with vision, bravery, and a people-first mindset in uncertain times.In this episode, we dive into:

• How bravery and confidence can transform an organization.
• Navigating the shift from oil and gas to renewables.
• Leading with clarity and conviction during times of change.
• The importance of building cultures where everyone can thrive.

A Chartered Engineer, Mike spent his formative years with Rolls-Royce Industrial Power in various roles and International locations.

In more entrepreneurial roles, he has spent time in the Aerospace/Automotive supply chain with Gardener Aerospace before landing at Babcock International. Here he is best known for establishing a marine design business which grew from 120 people to 1200 people in 6 years. It became the largest business in its field in Europe.

More recently Mike joined ASCO, the specialist logistics and materials management business. He was appointed CEO following its acquisition by the private equity firm Endless.
