SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2014--
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) announced today that Rhonda I. Zygocki,
executive vice president, Policy and Planning, has elected to retire
from the company after 34 years of outstanding service effective Feb. 1,
2015. The company also said it is making new reporting assignments for
several executives.
“Over the course of her career, Rhonda made many significant
contributions to our business and distinguished herself as one of our
most versatile and proven leaders,” said John Watson, Chevron’s chairman
and chief executive officer. “Her operating experience in Canada, the
United States and Australia, combined with her strong background in a
number of key functional areas, made her an invaluable member of our
executive committee and one of my most trusted advisors on governance
and public policy issues.”
Zygocki is a native of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. She began her
career in petroleum engineering with Chevron Canada Resources in Calgary
after graduating in 1980 from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a
bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. In 2011, Memorial University
honored Zygocki as its Alumna of the Year for her career achievements
and many contributions inside and outside Chevron.
During her career at Chevron, Zygocki held positions of increasing
responsibility, including managing director of Chevron Australia. As a
senior officer in the company, Zygocki was central in the design and
implementation of Chevron’s Operational Excellence Management System
that elevated the company’s approach to health, safety, environmental
stewardship and reliability. She also advanced Chevron’s approach to
enterprise risk management; evolved its stance on important public
policy issues, such as climate change and human rights; expanded
Chevron’s global social investments and partnerships; and represented
the company on a range of health, education and economic development
issues, including Chevron’s substantial effort to fight HIV/AIDS.
Zygocki’s contributions also have extended beyond Chevron. She serves on
the board of directors of the United States Energy Association and
GBCHealth; the board of trustees of the San Francisco Ballet; and the
advisory board of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars’
Canada Institute.
Following the announcement of Zygocki’s pending retirement, three new
reporting assignments are being announced effective Jan. 1, 2015:
-
Steve Green, vice president, Policy, Government and Public Affairs,
and Joe Naylor, vice president, Strategic Planning, will report to
John Watson.
-
Wes Lohec, vice president, Health, Environment and Safety, will report
to Joe Geagea, senior vice president, Technology, Projects and
Services.
“These executives have distinguished themselves as leaders in our
company, and the appointments will ensure a smooth transition following
Rhonda’s retirement,” Watson said.
