Experienced Oil and Gas Training Executive Joins IHRDC to Leverage Global Sales Initiatives
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- IHRDC, a worldwide leader in energy industry training and
competency development solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment
of Robert Cooper as a Director on IHRDC’s international sales team. In
his new role, Cooper will drive international business development
efforts, expand the company’s global footprint, and strengthen client
partnerships in key energy markets.
Cooper specializes in selling
into the oil and gas industry to deliver transformative learning and
development solutions for both national and international companies. His
problem-solving approach to sales has enabled him to serve a variety of
clients in far-flung parts of the globe including Africa, the Middle
East and Asia.
His secret? Active listening. “The only true way
to support your client,” he says, “is to truly understand what they need
and are trying to achieve and then work back from that.”
Cooper
joins IHRDC after a 30-year career that has blended sales leadership
experience in both the oil and gas training business and computer-based
learning. Starting out, he worked for an independent oil company in his
native England taking orders for home heating oil. Soon he was running
the company’s regional operations responsible for sales, production,
delivery, marketing, advertising, and finance. Then, with the experience
of creating computer-based lessons to help his twin daughters achieve
their learning milestones, Cooper was inspired to switch his
professional focus to e-Learning solutions.
“I have a great
affinity for e-Learning,” he says, reflecting his experience working for
both technical and creative computer-training organizations with
customers like Microsoft, Nike, and Toyota. When he returned to the oil
and gas training business, it was to promote e-Learning and learning
management systems into Europe, and now he sees comparable opportunities
for IHRDC in the broader international arena.
“If you can
combine the evolution of global culture toward online learning with the
presence of an incredibly robust library of existing courses accessible
in nearly every language, the potential is absolutely huge,” he
enthuses. “That is why I joined IHRDC. They have gotten far more
upstream content than anybody else, a dedication to improving and
evolving their training products using the latest technologies,
excellent customer support, competitive prices, and a tremendous history
in competency development.”
“We’re delighted to welcome Robert
to IHRDC,” said President & CEO Brad Donohue. “His extensive
experience in international sales and deep understanding of the energy
training industry will be instrumental in helping us achieve our growth
objectives. We look forward to his contributions in supporting our
efforts to deliver innovative solutions for our global family of
clients.”
