Amber Sparks MS
Environmental Consultant
Amber has six years of international and domestic experience working in the offshore oil and gas industry. She is an oceanographer, marine conservation biologist, and oil and gas consultant. As co-founder of Blue Latitudes, she navigates science, policy, and economics to create comprehensive, sustainable and environmental solutions for the issues surrounding offshore oil and gas decommissioning. Her expertise is unique, specializing in the development of offshore technologies, ecological assessments of offshore resources using ROVs, and habitat restoration through the Rigs-to-Reefs program. A former Ocean Curator at Google, she engineered and launched intelligent layers in Google Earth and Google Maps that distill and relate complex concepts in ocean science for a variety of audiences. Today she uses those skills in the oil and gas industry to map fishing activity in proximity to offshore structures and inform decommissioning decisions in relation to commercial fisheries.

Operational Visibility
When executives talk about resilience, they usually react to symptoms, not root causes. What’s often misunderstood is this: the problem is rarely resilience itself. The problem is visibility.
Ludicrously Fast Marketing
AI-augmented creative offering that helps organizations scale ambition, not cost, by applying AI where it delivers the biggest gains.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are the unseen drivers of enterprise value. Their importance lies in the way they differentiate companies in crowded markets and create resilience through shifting conditions.
Offshore ET not on Life Support
There are financial/operational benefits of repurposing/utilizing existing infrastructure for clean energy.
A World Without Gas Stations
My father owned and operated a Mobil Oil gas station for about twenty years. Hence, the thought of a world without gas stations is about abstract as it gets, but that is where we are headed.
