LEADERSHIP TEAM

Garrett is CEO of Red Sands Global, bringing over two decades of experience in international business, energy development, and strategic project execution across frontier and emerging markets. Known for his disciplined leadership and results-driven approach, Mr. McCorkle has been instrumental in building Red Sands Global into a dynamic force in the oil, gas, and infrastructure sectors across the Middle East and North Africa. His career spans complex transactions in aviation, commodities, and large-scale energy infrastructure, where he has earned a reputation for navigating challenging environments with clarity, integrity, and operational excellence. Under his leadership, Red Sands Global continues to expand its footprint, delivering reliable, efficient, and forward-looking energy solutions in some of the world’s most critical regions.

Ron Williams, a native Chicagoan, helps lead strategy and sales at Red Sands Global — a firm built on one core mission: making global commodity transactions faster, more trustworthy, and more reliable for buyers and sellers worldwide. With 17 years in the commodities industry and an elite career spanning the U.S. Army, Michelin, GE, KPMG, and Clearview Consulting, Ron brings rare cross-industry depth and extensive experience in vertical integration strategies across multiple industries, including oil and gas. His consulting tenure at KPMG — where he partnered with industry leaders like Halliburton, Chevron, and others to maximize operational efficiencies and apply technology in bold, transformative ways — sharpened a decisive edge: he doesn't just understand the commodities market, he has codified what actually works in it. As a Principal, Ron's unique perspective on the industry, market dynamics, and channel partner positioning gives him an instinct for relationship building and partnership development that few can match. It is this expertise that makes him a vital force in RSG's strategy for delivering high growth and high value to its clients and partners. Now, Red Sands Global is channeling that collective expertise into building an AI-powered transaction business model poised to help reshape global oil and gas commodities transactions.
