Bio

In 2010, Bobbie and a coworker took a leap of faith and purchased the small oilfield service company where they worked — with no previous experience as business owners. What started as an unexpected opportunity has grown into Arpco Valves & Controls, providing valve automation, controls, and emergency shutdown solutions to the oil and gas industry. As CEO and Co-Founder of Arpco Legacy Enterprises, Bobbie is passionate about helping leaders build stronger organizations through accountability, culture, and practical leadership. As a woman who built a successful business in a traditionally male-dominated industry, she speaks candidly about conflict, resilience, and the realities of leading through change. Bobbie challenges leaders to look beyond the immediate problem, consider the people affected by every decision, and build organizations where accountability, communication, and culture create lasting results.
