As a piece of the supply operations at Gulf Oil, I have been responsible for the scheduling of all of our Colonial and Plantation pipeline cycles and taking the existing process and amplifying it to meet the changes in the market from Line Space deals, allocated pipelines, and other facets of the business as Gulf looks to increase its footprint across those markets supplied via the pipeline.From there, I have also been scheduling the Buckeye and Sunoco pipeline geographies served across Pennsylvania and New York markets. Along with exposure to all of the pipelines serving the eastern half of the United States, I have leveraged functionality within T4 and Right Angle to ensure that these movements are being captured accurately and in a timely manner within our internal systems.As well as pipelines, I am also responsible for the scheduling and coordination of our barge movements and tank to tank pumpovers in our New York terminals as part of our blending operations at Gulf Oil. This includes, but is not limited to Butane trucks, Naptha barges, finished product cargoes, and all of the many other pieces of the blending operation at Gulf. All of these movements also have an EPA requirement that is reported and audited by myself and my RIN manager to ensure that all obligations are properly recorded.Along with my supply operation duties, I still actively mange our pricing team and help support our price strategies in the various markets that Gulf Oil operates within. I am also the lead on all projects focused on expanding our pricing models and analyzing potential strategies to help boost the Gulf offer to our customers.As our company grows, I am prepared and excited for my role in supply operations to continue expanding to meet the changing dynamics of our industry and to help ensure that Gulf maintains its role as a leading provider of finished products for all of the markets we serve now, from Florida to Maine, and expect to enter in the future.

I am responsible for calculating, establishing and distributing the product prices for Unbranded sales and Branded dealers and jobbers; as well as partnering with Supply and Distribution, as well as various other departments to manage, through the pricing function, the volume of inventory sold. In addition, I hedge all marketing physical contracts. Utilizing the pricing functions, we as a company can better target those markets where there is increased opportunities and help maximize profit for Gulf. This requires a lot of coordination between myself, the pricing analyst, our unbranded/branded marketing representatives, and a close working relationship with our supply team to understand how to better drive the initiatives cascading down from Gulf management.From a risk perspective, my team is responsible for reporting daily position and P&L for our supply team and maintaining consistency in the reporting. We also ensure that our hedge position is in balance to minimize risk. We use MTM accounting to identify the daily value of Gulf Inventory across our proprietary terminals, our throughput and exchange positions, our intransit product, and any waterborne product to help complete the overall picture of the daily value of Gulf Operations. We also look into our forward book to identify what kind of opportunities and challenges are coming from forward sales and purchases executed by our supply team.I have built the risk team up to be able to respond to the ever-changing pieces of our industry, such as RINS and Line Space, and have empowered them through tools I have created to allow for accurate reporting of the EPA obligations and Line Space tracking to better educate our management team on day to day financial position and risk. It is imperative that we as a company continue to be on the front-end of innovation in our business operations and through our reporting, my team ensures that we continue to capture the impacts of these changes to our bottom-line.

I held the role of Product Pricing Specialist for our Wholesale division in the Portsmouth office. I was personally responsible for setting, adjusting, and managing our rack pricing levels across our terminals in both the US and in CA. Every single night I had to analyze and develop strategy based on our supply situations, our competitor’s pricing in the market, lifting patterns by our customers, contract clauses that must be mitigated around, and a number of other factors that determine exactly what type of message we need to convey with our rack pricing position. I was also involved with a number of projects and have helped head some that have been completed over the years. I had been involved with helping to create a new commercial business team in Montreal which is currently complete and operating independent of the wholesale business with the exception of the pricing implementation needed utilizing the wholesale pricing team. I was also directly involved in developing and testing our online user platform for our customers, as well as the online order placing program for our customers. These projects have been met with great success and have helped Irving offer much more to our customers than a lot of the competition. Prior to Irving, I was a manager for a warehouse position and was responsible for increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the warehouse by installing new information systems and operating systems that helped electronically manage the inventory rather than the manual processes previously used from clipboard to Excel.
