Background

About Rob Cook

I am a highly motivated, multi-faceted energy and finance executive. I have an extensive network, particularly in Calgary, encompassing operating companies, the private equity & venture capital sectors, and the supporting ecosystems. I have broad knowledge and deep insights into energy market fundamentals including the transition of the energy value chain towards a low carbon future. I bring a thoughtful and strategic perspective to identifying new opportunities and building value from existing platforms. I have 37 years of broad and deep experience in most aspects of the oil and gas industry encompassing exploration and production, midstream and infrastructure. For the past 23 years, I have been actively originating, analyzing, structuring, and executing on high potential investment opportunities. I have been responsible for managing a portfolio of high-growth companies with complete accountability for all aspects of the investment. I have usually been a member of the board of directors, often as the chairman or lead director, and chairman of the corporate audit committee. I have a deep understanding of capital markets and I have extensive relations within the research analyst, investment banking, credit, and institutional investment communities. My communication and presentation skills are extremely strong. My colleagues and peers would describe me as a team player and a positive and collaborative individual. I am a passionate advocate for sustained positive change. I recently joined WestLake Energy Corp, a leading Canadian intermediate energy company and currently lead the company as the CEO.
