Networking Secrets and Career Growth in Treasury with Forrest Cebold

In this special episode of the Treasury Career Corner Podcast, we are delving back into our archives to revisit an insightful conversation with Forrest Cebold, the Treasurer at Freeport LNG.

Forrest rejoins the show to provide us with an update on his recent endeavors and shares his insights on networking, career development, and the challenges of remote work in the treasury field.

During our discussion, Forrest shares his wealth of knowledge and top tips for building a successful Treasury career. He draws from his extensive financial background, which encompasses diverse experiences within prominent global companies in the energy and holding company sectors.

Additionally, we delve into the remarkable journey of Freeport LNG, initially founded in 2002 with the objective to design, build and operate an LNG import and regasification terminal. However, with the advent of the shale gas revolution in the late 2000s, marked a turning point in the U.S. oil and gas industry. For Freeport LNG, it meant taking their business in a new direction: transforming an import terminal into a natural gas liquefaction and liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. Today, they are on the path to becoming one of the largest exporters of LNG in the United States.
