The appointment of Breber, 54, who joined Chevron in 1989, will take effect April 1. He currently serves as the company’s executive vice president of downstream and chemicals, a position he’s held since 2016. He previously held leadership positions in Chevron’s gas and midstream segment.
“Pierre is uniquely qualified to be our next CFO, having served in senior finance roles and also in operating roles across our downstream, midstream and upstream businesses. Pierre’s deep financial background and broad knowledge of our operations will be valuable in ensuring we remain financially strong and create lasting shareholder value,” Chevron CEO Michael Wirth said in statement on Feb. 4.
