Succeeding In A Time Of ‘Rampant Change’ – Take Five With Arja Talakar
24 February 2020
Arja Talakar was named CEO of Siemens Oil & Gas, effective April 1. Talakar began his career with Siemens in 1996 as a rotating equipment and automation systems engineer and has since held several roles of increasing responsibility across the globe.
Prior to taking his current role, he was responsible for Siemens Saudi Arabia, and together with his team, he developed close ties and strategic partnerships with leading global oil and gas, energy and petrochemicals companies, and succeeded in securing and executing large infrastructure projects, Siemens said.
