Mid-Career Switch to Unilever or P&G: How Realistic Is It After 12 Years in Oil & Gas?

What does it take to break into companies like Unilever or Procter & Gamble?

My background is quite different. I've spent about 12 years in the energy industry, primarily in oil & gas and EPC projects. I'm interested in changing fields and moving away from purely technical or R&D roles. I'd like to transition into product, strategy, or leadership-oriented positions where I can leverage my experience leading projects, managing stakeholders, and driving business outcomes. Has anyone successfully made a similar mid-career switch? What roles should I target, and what skills or experiences would make me a competitive candidate?
