The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday, July 3, edition that Gibson Energy says veteran energy executive Curtis Philippon has been named as the company's next president and chief executive officer. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Mr. Philippon starts work on Aug. 29. Mr. Philippon replaces Steve Spaulding, who announced in February that he would retire once a successor had been found. The company says Mr. Philippon brings more than 20 years of experience in the North American energy sector. Mr. Philippon most recently served as an executive vice-president at Superior Plus, where he oversaw the Canadian Superior Propane and Superior Gas Liquids business units in addition to being the president of Certarus. Gibson owns oil terminals and pipelines in Alberta and Texas as well as a heavy crude oil processing facility in Saskatchewan.
