Over its twenty years with president and CEO Rick George at the helm, Suncor Energy went from being Canada' s ' unluckiest oil company' to a stock market darling and the second-largest publicly traded corporation in the country. Both a contrarian and an optimist, George often made multibillion-dollar moves despite deep skepticism within the industry. His $2.8-billion expansion into the oil sands ignited massive growth in Canada' s most valuable, and controversial, natural resource. And his $19-billion merger with Petro-Canada in 2009 made Suncor a true global player in the rough, big-stakes game of international oil.
All of this from a guy who grew up in a small Colorado ranching town to become one of Canadian business' s most transformative figures in a sector fraught with controversy. Rick George is a man of contradictions-- both a conservationist and a leading proponent of sustainable development of the oil sands.
Sun Rise is about leadership, strategy, environmental concerns and boardroom drama, it' s also about the future of oil sands development. This is the story of an optimist whose faith in people and innovation leads him to believe that we can overcome today' s challenges and continue to advance.
