ExxonMobil has announced some leadership changes. Effective February 1, 2025, Dan Ammann, will step into a new role as upstream president, while Barry Engle, currently senior executive advisor to ExxonMobil’s chairman, will take over Amman’s current position as ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions president.
In a post on LinkedIn, Ammann said: ‘I’m excited to take on this new challenge. Some might think that moving from Low Carbon Solutions to Upstream is surprising, but it’s not. Meeting the world’s energy demand is not an either/or proposition. It’s an ‘and’ equation. One that requires both an increase in supply of safe, reliable, affordable energy AND a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions – and I will continue to focus on both. Our Low Carbon Solutions team has built a strong foundation for a business that will help shape the future of ExxonMobil and the planet. I’m deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to lead this team for the last 2.5 years and look forward to what comes next.’
