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.”
