Bindi Patel
Vice President of Contracts and Procurement & Corporate Risk Officer, ENSCO
Bindi Patel successfully led the integration of ENSCO’s contracts and procurement teams. The convergence inspired more innovative solutions for both internal and external customers, as well as increased efficiency and cost savings companywide.

“Bindi’s passion for the work we do at ENSCO combined with her extensive knowledge of contracts, procurement and risk management have aligned well with our mission, vision, and long-term growth strategy,” said ENSCO President Jeff Stevens. “The company has benefited tremendously from her extensive experience, energetic leadership style and unwavering commitment to improving our customer, employee and shareholder experience.”

Relying on the innovative work produced by ENSCO’s scientists, they will continue to expand solutions for customers.
“Throughout my career, colleagues have relied on me to problem solve through new challenges,” Patel said. “As a result, I’ve found that I’m always learning. This continuous build of skills has helped me navigate the daily, unique problems you face as a contracts executive.”
