Daniel Wittenberg

Operations Manager, Products Pipelines, PSR East Division
Tucson,AZ

Summary

I have had positions of increasing complexity and responsibility for my entire career. In 2003, Kinder Morgan purchased two of the three facilities within my responsibility during my time with Shell Oil Products US.

At that time, I was offered an entry level position as a pipeline operator. I took this position with no prior knowledge of pipeline operations and quickly worked my way into more challenging roles.

This period of my career is one I am most proud of. I dealt with change, uncertainty, stress and challenges and found success. I look back on this time and remind myself often of the total experience and how it shaped me as a leader.

I bring that attitude and that experience to you for consideration and I also bring it to the teams I work with.

I look forward to speaking with you and discussing in further detail my skills and abilities that make me an excellent candidate for this important role.
