Conference 2026
Panel: TECH Show: Robots and how AI just got Physical
Sue-Ann Marquis is VP Customer Success at Korial and brings the operator perspective to the future of physical AI. With more than 17 years in oil and gas — from offshore drilling engineering across Qatar, Angola, Denmark and Trinidad to digital and data-platform leadership at TotalEnergies, Wood Mackenzie and SatVu — she has lived the operational realities that robotics must ultimately solve for.
Most recently, she built and led bp's global robotics and operations automation programme, scaling autonomous inspection from isolated pilots into structured operational capability across multiple regions. Under her leadership, drones and ground-based robots replaced manual operator rounds for integrity, leak detection, corrosion monitoring and confined-space inspection — and robotics data was wired directly into enterprise integrity and maintenance workflows.
At Korial, Sue-Ann channels that hands-on operator credibility into closing the gap between robotics development and real-world deployment, helping industrial companies move from promising demos to dependable, data-driven autonomy at scale.
