Halliburton’s COO Named as El Paso Corporation’s New CEO

LCG, July 17, 2003Pipeline giant El Paso Corporation named Douglas Foshee as its new chief executive and president on Wednesday.

Foshee, at age 44, has been at Halliburton since 2001. He began as chief financial officer and was later named COO. Prior to his position at Halliburton he ran oil and gas company Nuevo Energy Co., as well as serving in several positions at ARCO.

El Pasos current director and CEO, Ronald Kuehn, will stay employed as non-executive chairman.

El Paso has faced much scrutiny over the recent years, both legally and from dissident shareholders. The corporation has already started restructuring, emphasizing its natural gas pipeline assets and foregoing several other avenues of investment.

Foshee has successfully lead restructuring efforts in the past and will be responsible for restoring shareholder confidence when he takes up the job in September at a salary of $900,000 per year.
