Throughout his career in large scale process and project development and construction Hal Bouknight has excelled at putting together teams of mission driven engineers and technicians who use new technologies to solve old problems.

Prior to joining Nacero, Mr. Bouknight was SVP and a member of the management committee at IHI E&C Int’l Corp., where he led the development of over $5BN of EPC contracts in the LNG sector and built a substantial pipeline of other EPC opportunities for natural gas monetization in the LNG, NGL, and GTL sectors.
