Executive Overview

I have over 25 years of global finance leadership experience in the energy industry.

Prior to this role, I served as assistant controller for Chevron Corporation from October 2020 through February 2026 and as secretary of the Board Audit Committee from December 2020 through February 2026. I began my industry career in 1996 and joined Chevron in 2004 through the Finance MBA program. Over the course of my career, I have held a range of operational and finance roles both in the U.S. and internationally, including general accounting manager in Angola; finance manager for California upstream; general manager of corporate treasury in Singapore; general manager of finance for supply and trading in Houston; and controller for downstream and chemicals in California. I hold an MBA in finance from the University of Michigan, an MS in chemical engineering from Lamar University, and a BS in chemical engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology in India.
