SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2016--
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) today named Clay Neff president of
Chevron Africa and Latin America Exploration and Production, effective
January 1, 2017.
Neff, 54, succeeds Ali Moshiri, who will retire from Chevron after 38
years of distinguished service, effective April 1, 2017, consistent with
the company’s mandatory retirement policy. Neff, who is currently
managing director of Chevron’s Nigeria Mid-Africa Business Unit, will
oversee Chevron’s exploration and production activities in 15 countries
across Africa and Latin America. In his new role, Neff will report to
Jay Johnson, Chevron’s executive vice president, Upstream.
In his current role, Neff is responsible for Chevron’s upstream
operations in Nigeria and West Africa. He received his Bachelor’s degree
in Petroleum Engineering from Louisiana State University in 1984 and
joined Chevron the following year as a drilling engineer. Since then, he
has held numerous engineering, operations, commercial and management
positions of increasing responsibility in the United States, Angola and
Nigeria. Mr. Neff is also the chairman of the board of trustees for the
Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND),
chairman of the Oil Producers Trade Section of the Lagos Chamber of
Commerce & Industry, and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Over the course of his career, Moshiri has developed significant
operational and international experience. He has held key leadership
roles throughout the enterprise, including manager of Petroleum and
Facilities Engineering, general manager of Strategic Planning and Assets
Evaluation for Chevron Overseas Petroleum, general manager and advisor
to the vice chairman of the board of Chevron Corporation Exploration and
Production, and managing director of Chevron Latin America Exploration
and Production Company.
“Clay’s broad operating experience, particularly in Africa, makes him
highly qualified to lead these two key regions for our business,” said
John Watson, Chevron’s chairman and CEO.
Commenting on Moshiri’s retirement, Watson said, “Ali has played a
central and critical role in growing our business in Africa and Latin
America. He has also distinguished himself as a champion of Chevron’s
commitment to economic and social development in the areas in which we
operate.”
