Chevron Corp. has named Laura Lane as vice president and chief corporate affairs officer, succeeding Al Williams, who is retiring in April after 34 years with the company.
Effective Feb. 1, Lane will oversee Houston-based Chevron’s government affairs, communication and social investment activities, according to a Jan. 13 press release.
Lane previously served as executive vice president and chief corporate affairs and sustainability officer at delivery company UPS.
Prior to UPS, Lane held senior positions at Citigroup and Time Warner. She also served in a senior government role at the office of the U.S. Trade Representative and as a diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service, the release stated.
“Laura’s background in both the private and public sectors, her proven leadership in complex global organizations and experience working in diverse geographic locations makes her well-suited to lead Chevron’s global corporate affairs activities,” said Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth.
Currently, the oil supermajor is preparing to close its $53 billion deal to acquire Hess Corp. later this year amid contract arbitration hurdles by Hess’ Guyana oil production partners Exxon Mobil and CNOOC.
