Zach Burdine has spent the last decade underwriting and brokering complex energy accounts. His expertise stretches from tailoring specific programs for large midstream companies to placing high-limit capacity with brokerage trading partners. At Risk Placement Services [RPS], Burdine has created exclusive energy products and publishes a quarterly ‘state of the market’ energy report for his customers.
To build a foundation for his career, Burdine attended and completed PETEX’s Fundamentals in Petroleum and Rig School. In 2018, he earned an executive MBA in energy from the University of Oklahoma. In recent years, he has been invited to speak at various conferences about the state of the energy market.
