ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) today announced several future appointments to the executive management teams of the two leading energy companies that will be created when ConocoPhillips completes its strategic repositioning, expected in the second quarter of 2012.
The new ConocoPhillips will be an independent, pure-play exploration and production company. Phillips 66, the independent downstream company, will have leading businesses in refining, marketing, midstream and chemicals. The designated chief executive officers for each company are creating new leadership teams to support the independent companies.
Ryan Lance, designated chairman and chief executive officer of the future ConocoPhillips, has selected three members of his executive management team.
Matt Fox will become executive vice president, exploration and production. Fox is a former president of ConocoPhillips Canada. He has held senior positions for ConocoPhillips in its Canadian Oil Sands, U.K., U.S. and Middle East divisions. Most recently, he was executive vice president, international, for Nexen Inc. Fox has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, and a master’s degree in petroleum engineering.
Alan J. Hirshberg will become executive vice president, technology and projects. Hirshberg is currently senior vice president, planning and strategy, for ConocoPhillips. He has also held executive positions at ExxonMobil, overseeing production operations and major development projects in the U.S., Europe, Africa, and Central and Southeast Asia. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering.
