Occidental Petroleum Corp. named 33-year company veteran Vicki Hollub to become the first female chief executive officer of a major U.S. oil company.
Hollub, 55, will assume control of Occidental’s oil and natural gas business worldwide as an interim step to succeeding current CEO Stephen Chazen “after a thorough transition period,” the Houston-based company said in a statement Tuesday. Occidental said in March that Chazen, 68, would step down at the 2016 annual meeting.
