Not Your Story
Lessons From a CEO Who Spent 30 Years at SLB
In this episode of Not Your Story, we sit down with Salvador Ayala, who spent 30 years building a global career at SLB, taking on leadership roles across operations, technology, strategy, sales, marketing, and engineering while working throughout Mexico, the United States, Africa, and Brazil. Salvador shares how an unexpected opportunity after graduating during Mexico’s economic crisis led him into the oil and gas industry, and ultimately into a career that continually pushed him outside his comfort zone.Salvador also opens up about the sacrifices behind international leadership, what kept him at one company for three decades, and why he eventually decided it was time for a new chapter as CEO of Atlas Pressure Control. He shares his approach to entering a new organization, building a culture of performance and accountability, creating Atlas’ “Responsive, Reliable, Relentless” philosophy, and the importance of embracing change, negotiation, family, and continuous growth.
