Steve Thompson

As Vice President of Business Strategy for National Oilwell Varco, Steve provides research and analysis in collaboration with business unit leaders to further core strategic priorities for the company. Leveraging his experience in field operations, geosciences, new product development and business leadership, Steve offers a unique perspective to the businesses he works with. Because there is often a very thin line between success and failure, one of Steve’s tenets is that it is critical to walk in the shoes of your customer if you want to uncover the truth of your own business.

Steve holds a BA in Geology from Rutgers University, along with an MS in Finance from The University of Houston, Clear Lake.
