Following a two-month search, GPA Midstream Association has found its top executive.
The company announced on July 22 that longtime industry executive Joel Moxley has been appointed president and CEO of the nearly 100-year-old trade organization.
Moxley replaces Mark Sutton effectively immediately. Sutton announced in early May that he is retiring after 37 years with GPA Midstream Association.
“Joel is a seasoned and trusted leader and is uniquely qualified to drive strategic prioritization for GPA Midstream in our ever-changing industry,” said GPA Midstream Chairman of the Board Bill Ward. “With more than 30 years of industry experience and a long history of leadership roles within the association, Joel can step right into action. On behalf of the executive committee that made the selection, we have full confidence in Joel’s ability to build on the association’s advocacy, technical and educational strengths.”
Moxley’s career has included several executive roles. Prior to this appointment with GPA Midstream, Moxley served as chief commercial officer for Southcross Energy Partners/Southcross Holdings from 2015 to 2019 and was responsible for overseeing the company’s gas gathering, gas treating, gas processing, NGL fractionation and gas and NGL marketing assets in Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.
Before Southcross, Moxley led Crestwood Equity Partners as senior vice president, operations services, and served as CEO for Crestwood Midstream Partners. He also has held executive roles focused on commercial activities within Crosstex Energy, Enterprise Products Partners, El Paso Corp. and PG&E Corp.
Moxley served as GPA Midstream chairman of the board from 2013 to 2015. Under his leadership, the association opened a Washington, D.C., office to increase the midstream industry’s involvement in federal legislative and regulatory issues.
More recently, he led a strategic review of the association from 2016 to 2017, which resulted in a number of key changes within the organization that have been implemented within the last two years. GPA Midstream awarded Moxley with a Citation for Service Award in April 2018.
With Moxley in place, Sutton will remain in office through the summer to assist with the transition.
