Jamie Peace

Jamie Peace is the president and COO of Texas Specialty Sands (TSS), a provider of frac proppant and logistics to the U.S. onshore energy industry. At TSS, Jamie leads several hundred employees in the pursuit of the most technologically advanced proppant supply chain ecosystem in the industry. Jamie’s teams are developing innovative new technology to synthesize the fragmented nature of proppant procurement, transportation and deployment at the wellsite.

Along the field efforts, Jamie’s team has more than 15 full-time technology developers building TSS’ internally developed dispatching software system. His work is leading to multimillion dollar value creation for individual oil and gas producers.

Peace’s energy career began at FTS International (FTSI), one of the largest well completion companies in North America. As U.S. operations manager, he ran a product line with more than $1 billion in yearly revenue. Following his promotion to that role, FTSI emerged from financial distress to achieve record profit levels, despite lower demand and pricing industrywide. That achievement is in large part due to the additional efficiencies and productivity that Jamie’s team has delivered.  Jamie’s experience as a marine “doing more with less” gave him a laser focus on enhancements that enabled his team to generate a 31% increase in productivity.  

As the then-youngest member of FTSI’s management team, Jamie made unparalleled contributions to the company’s bottom line, resulting in nine-figure annual cash flow improvement year over year. These actions lead to a strengthened balance sheet, avoiding bankruptcy and the enabling the company’s successful IPO in 2018.

Peace introduced several game-changing initiatives that increased efficiencies company-wide over the last three years.  First, at FTSI he introduced and implemented a revolutionary containerized sand solution that increased the long-term safety of fracturing employees and reduced non-productive time at the well site from hours to minutes. Additionally, Jamie brought vibration sensors originally used on nuclear submarines and rolled them out to oil and gas equipment, allowing operators to predict and prevent machine breakdowns, again avoiding significant costs in unanticipated repairs.

Peace served the U.S. Marine Corps for nine years as a captain. He had five overseas deployments: two with an infantry battalion, two with a Reconnaissance battalion, and one with a Marine Special Operations Raider battalion, including services in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Peace was responsible for analyzing, planning and commanding over 35 Special Operations missions with numerous US Special Operations Forces, Other Government Agencies, and multi-national Special Forces, throughout the Helmand, Kandahar and Nimruz Provinces of Afghanistan.

Peace also served as chief liaison for coordination and deconfliction to General Officer, Inter-service and Inter-agency military and civilian staffs ensuring success for all Marine Special Operations Forces activities globally. He also led the Quick Reaction Force/Presidential Extraction Team, integrated with U.S. Secret Service and White House Military Aide during the President of the United States’ visit to Indonesia.

Peace has been awarded the Combat Action Ribbon, Two Navy Commendation Medals and the
Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

In addition to personal accomplishments, Peace has also contributed immensely toward community service. He led efforts to partner FTSI with the Prisoner Entrepreneurship Program (PEP), an organization dedicated to providing resources and real-world values-based business skills to inmates so that once they are back in society they have the tools, skills and support structure to pursue healthy, fulfilling and productive lives.  

A major goal of the program is to combat recidivism.  Jamie worked with multiple department leaders within this company to promote the organization, establish a support program and spearhead recruiting efforts for PEP clients.  As a result of his efforts, in the first year of the partnership, FTSI hired over 10 former inmates and pledged substantial financial support to the organization in 2018.

Peace is also actively involved in both his collegiate and high school alma maters. He serves as a volunteer for Career Day events and acts as mentor to high school students as they transition to college. Moreover, Jamie voluntee
