What is pink petro
History
The Pink Petro story started in 2013, aboard a Boeing 777 from London to Houston when Mehnert laid down her ideas on three cocktail napkins. With encouragements from Cindy Patman, a senior director of diversity and corporate affairs at Halliburton and support from Shell Oil, she launched an online platform based on cloud enterprise social technology from Jive Software. Then, the CEO of Jive, Elisa Steele also helped create a partnership at Silicon Valley. During the Offshore Technology Conference, Mayor Annise Parker proclaimed Pink Petro Day on May 2, 2015 to celebrate with over 300 executives and professionals.
Pink Petro marked its first year with The HerWorld Energy Forum, on International Women’s Day, hosted at Halliburton headquarters in Houston and live-streamed around the globe.
