Janet Annesley, 37 Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) Vice-president, communications 24 | oilweek May 2010
ising stars When someone calls Janet Annesley for career advice saying, “I’d really like to get into communications because I’m really good with people,” she has to break them the news that communications is about a lot more than being good with people. “You need to understand peoples’ perspectives and their needs, but you also spend a lot of time staring at your computer screen,” she says. “You have to be analytical to put together a lot of the business information. You need a good eye for detail to make sure things are accurate. And you need to be able to think critically about the things people tell you. So it’s the right balance between people skills and the analytical and critical-thinking skills.” You could say Janet has pretty much nailed this balance as a third generation communications professional. There are three generations of communications experience in her family: her father was in oil and gas communications for more than 30 years. And her grandfather, a mining engineer, ended his life-long career at the Aluminum Company of Canada in public affairs and government relations. As the first female executive team member at CAPP, Janet is responsible for the full sweep of communications tasks, from issues management and media relations to web strategy, social media, and member relations. She also takes on an advisory role that calls upon her expertise and mastery of oil and gas issues acquired at Royal Dutch Shell, where she led a communications team of 13 in the company’s newest and perhaps most controversial business, the oilsands. “The opportunity [at CAPP] really appealed to me because of the challenges the oil and gas industry faces,” Janet says. “As one of the board members said to me shortly after I joined, ‘You’re doing God’s work now.’” ★ Family: Married to Erik langberg Education: Studied English at University of Calgary and University of Montana; Bachelor of Applied Communications, Public Relations, Mount Royal College Favourite charity: Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, as a volunteer in Calgary and as national board member; also board member of Inside Education; and board member of Calgary Counselling Centre First job: harvey’s restaurant (“I still love their fries!”); first professional job was with Alberta Family and Social Services as junior public affairs officer. Best advice received: Follow the Golden Rule—Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If not in her current career, what would she be doing? She has a lot of energy and curiosity, so she’d either be at home with a bunch of kids, working for a compelling cause, and/or incarcerated. Favourite pastime: Cooking and entertaining friends Favourite book: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Other passions: She’s a newlywed, so her best times involve her husband, family, friends, lots of good food, and laughter. • Well Control • Blowout Recovery • Emergency Response • Emergency Firefighting HSE’s emergency response team is directed by seasoned professionals with decades of domestic and international experience.
