Krysztof "Kris" Palka is a self-described "energy-efficiency freak." With a master's degree in mechanical engineering, Palka's passion is improving, optimizing and streamlining processes. Before coming to Imaginea Energy as its chief strategist for sustainability, innovation and operational leadership, he spent a decade in his own consulting business helping producers get the most out of existing and new wells through innovative technology and just-in-time artificial lift optimization services. But in the looming shadow of the global-warming debate, he came to an epiphany that challenged him to up his game in helping the industry operate more sus-tainably. The irritant that spurred him on this quest was the polarizing "if you're not with us you're against us" global warming narrative. He didn't like it because it doesn't lead to productive solutions on either side.
