Employee Spotlight

“Although I joined in 2008, I remember well what drew me to Kosmos: it was a company that honored its people and a people that honored their work. There was no pretention among those who had come before me, but a desire to excel among all. I feel blessed to say that the same is true four years later. Kosmos hires personnel with well-honed knowledge and drive. The quality of the workforce that we have engaged over the years boasts our commitment to acquiring the best and brightest for the Company’s enhancement. Doing my part to ensure that Kosmos achieves its goals has given me personal satisfaction as well, making my experience here a great one every day.”

“As the Director of Internal Audit, I was originally tasked with building a new department function from the ground up. An undertaking of this measure would be quite challenging, but I believed it could be successful because of the upright culture and supportive environment here at Kosmos. Cultivating internal and external relationships and developing credibility among peers is critical to success. To this end, I have benefited greatly from the high standard of ethics that exists at Kosmos. I am able to make decisions and add value, contributing to the achievement of Kosmos’ strategic goals.”

“Kosmos is a company that has already provided me significant career opportunities in just a short period of time. I joined the company in June 2010 as an associate in the Finance & Treasury Group, focused heavily on leading the company’s planned initial public offering initiative. We completed that process less than a year later and our listing on the New York Stock Exchange was a major success. Thanks in large part to Kosmos’ transparent environment, I was able to expand my role and see new opportunities to contribute. In January 2011, I was promoted to Finance Manager and one year later, was promoted again to Director of Corporate Finance. I am extremely grateful to the management team at Kosmos for the way they recognize and reward hard work – pushing me to do even more.”

“In the workplace, the word ‘team’ is used too often and can lose its meaning as a result. This is not the case at Kosmos. Both my personal success and that of the greater organization depends on, and is derived from, the cohesion of not only the Operations Organization, but the Exploration and Development teams as well. The culture at Kosmos is one of unity and humility. I know that my individual voice is valued by each and every member of the company. No matter our separate roles and titles, we all come together for the same purpose: to find oil and grow Kosmos.”
