Dan Krishock is a Senior HR Product Manager for the oilfield services company TechnipFMC. Over the last twenty years he has also worked in Human Resources and IT for the energy sector companies Tenaris, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford.

Before starting his career in the energy sector, Dan worked extensively as journalist. Between 2000 and 2005 he was the managing editor for The Buenos Aires Herald, an English-language daily in Argentina.

Dan has served as PMI Houston’s VP Communications since 2022 and is responsible for publishing the chapter’s newsletter. Since taking charge of the newsletter, Dan has endeavored to bring more attention to PMIH activities and PMIH members’ contributions to the chapter. He views the newsletter, which reaches more than 13,000 readers, as a highly effective means for showing how much PMIH has to offer and for encouraging member participation in the chapter’s activities.

If reelected, Dan aims to increase submissions by PMIH members to the newsletter. He believes the newsletter should also be a medium for members to share their own insights on project management. With a membership approaching 5,000, there is a vast store of knowledge and experience to share within the PMIH community.
