BCA President Adam Legge is joined by one of the most iconic leaders in Canada's energy sector, Rich Kruger, President and CEO of Suncor Energy, for a very special interview on C-Suite Unplugged.

Rich talks about a career in the oil and gas industry that spans over 40 years and some of the roles that took him from Minnesota to Texas to the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and now here in Alberta.

Adam and Rich talk about philosophies of life and leadership, including lifelong learning, embracing similarities across continents and cultures, and the 'living organism' of a multinational company.

Rich also shares some of his own entertaining stories, including how a phone call on a beach in St. Lucia pulled him out of retirement to lead one of Canada's largest energy companies, why a group of Canada's energy leaders wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, and what Rich is setting out to accomplish before he retires for good.

Rich and Adam also analyze the pivotal moment Canada finds itself in and what it will really take to make Canada an energy superpower for the world.
