Stephen Ballard, Managing Director

Having started his career at one of the UK’s leading B2B advertising agencies, Stephen formed a specialist communications agency in 1980 to focus on the energy, manufacturing and communications industries.

As Managing Director, Stephen maintains that same focus today, a focus that has transformed BCM Public Relations into a business with global clients and a presence in key locations around the world.

Roberto Chiarotti,
Director Energy

Roberto has 25 plus years’ marketing and communications experience with front line communications and media experience, covering proactive strategic and tactical planning and execution in energy and financial markets globally.

Before joining BCM he ran marketing and business development for the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and was responsible for driving growth for conferences, exhibitions and publications. He was also responsible for the identification and realisation of growth and alliance opportunities internationally.

After graduating, Roberto worked in public affairs for the World Coal Institute before joining The Financial Times where he became Global Publishing Director for Financial Times Energy. Before joining SPE Roberto ran the global commercial functions of Reuters Professional at Thomson Reuters including magazines, websites, conferences, awards, news and data.

Jane Proctor, Director Operations

Overseeing the commercial aspects of running hundreds of projects a year across twenty-four countries, seventeen different vertical markets and invoicing in six different countries keeps Jane busy. The same is true in managing staff across three continents in four different time zones.

Ensuring that all projects are on-track and on budget, using BCM’s real-time project management system, in close relation with the practice heads and the company’s finance team, is a cornerstone of BCM’s success.
