Bonnie Maillet
As the CEO of Boysenblue, a supplier specializing in fluid additives used in the drilling process, Bonnie Maillet, 66, deflects praise when credited with blazing a path for women in the rough-and-tumble oil field boys’ club back in the 1970s. If she helped make history, she insists it was completely unintentional, a point she punctuates with a roll of the eyes. This is all she ever knew – the oil field – a six-decade love story that unfolds in framed chapters hung upon her office walls.
