HOUSTON - Exxon Mobil board director Gregory Goff recently joined a newly formed Elliott Investment Management-backed company seeking to acquire control of Venezuela-owned oil refiner Citgo Petroleum.
Exxon had no immediate comment on Goff's status at the company. The company's board of directors webpage lists Goff as chairman of its audit committee and member of its executive and finance committees.Amber's bid puts an up to $7.28 billion enterprise value on the Houston-based oil refiner. Shares in a Citgo parent whose only asset is the refiner are being auctioned to repay up to $21.
He was a vice chairman at Marathon Petroleum until 2019. Elliott made billions of dollars after taking a stake in Marathon and prodding it to improve operations and hive off pieces of its business. Marathon sold its Speedway retail fuel business to 7-Eleven for $21 billion in 2021.Ibrahima Konate’s header and a Mohamed Salah penalty either side of Rayan Ait-Nouri’s equaliser made it five wins from six league games.
