Tim Brown will join Ergon Refining & Marketing as senior vice president (SVP) of Strategy on October 17, 2022. Refining & Marketing (R&M), which makes up Ergon’s largest business segment,  consists of Ergon’s refinery operations and the marketing of various refined products, including specialty naphthenic and paraffinic products for niche markets and fuel products.

“Tim’s 30 years of experience in the refining and specialty business, much of that time in leadership roles, make him an excellent fit for this important position,” said Lance Puckett, president of Ergon Refining and Ergon – West Virginia.

Brown’s previous roles include chief executive officer of a privately held refining group; chief development officer for an environmental and biotechnology developer and system integrator; chief development officer of a company utilizing a next-generation cleantech solution to convert organic waste into clean energy, clean water, heat, fertilizer, and value-add hydrocarbon products; and most recently as managing director for a global manufacturer of specialty products headquartered in Hamburg, Germany.

After receiving his Bachelor of General Studies (Cum Laude) from the University of Connecticut, Brown received his Master of Business Administration from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.

“We are extremely excited about the contributions Tim will make to R&M and to all of Ergon in the coming years,” Puckett said.
