Staying Ahead of the Curve: Emerging Risks and Trends for Modern Enterprises
building sustainable resilience
Kellee Ann Richards-St Clair
Senior Commercial Energy Executive | Geopolitical Risk Advisor | ESG Strategist
I help energy businesses navigate complexity, capture market opportunity, and build lasting resilience. With 18 years of senior commercial leadership across NGL, LPG, and integrated gas markets in the Americas and internationally, I bring a rare combination of trading floor experience, geopolitical intelligence, and enterprise risk expertise to every engagement.
I have driven commercial transformation at VP level, negotiated with global energy majors, led infrastructure commercial development across pipeline, terminal, and capacity expansion projects, and advised executive and board-level audiences on strategy, risk, and sustainability across three continents.
Beyond the trading desk, I teach Geopolitics of Energy and Resources at the Institute of Applied Geopolitics and Risk Analytics, Enterprise Risk Management, and ESG at the University of the West Indies. I speak at international conferences on commercial strategy, geopolitical uncertainty, and organizational resilience, and I publish original analysis on the forces reshaping global energy markets.
This platform is where I share that thinking. Welcome.

About
A product of Trinidad and Tobago with a global footprint
Some people see complexity as a problem to manage. I see it as the space where strategy lives. I have spent 18 years at the intersection of energy markets, geopolitical forces, and organizational resilience, and what I know for certain is that the businesses that thrive in uncertain environments are the ones that understand both the commercial fundamentals and the forces reshaping the world around them. That is what I think about, write about, teach, and advise on. Welcome to that conversation.
