Brown is setting the standard in her role with IOGP

Exotic wildlife is a theme that runs throughout Wendy Brown’s upbringing, from her birthplace Brunei to Gabon, Nigeria and Malaysia.

“In Nigeria, I was water-skiing in the harbour in Lagos, and there were crocodiles,” says Brown, environment director with the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP).

“In Gabon, in Libreville, we had hippos at the bottom of the garden, and nodding donkeys everywhere,” she adds.
