 Dingo Chairman and CEO Paul Higgins welcomes Gary Balzhiser, manager, Commercial Lubricants, for ConocoPhillips, to the Dingo Board of Directors.
We’re honored to add Gary’s expertise on our board. His breadth and depth of experience in the oil industry, along with his perspective as Commercial Lubricants manager for ConocoPhillips, will be an asset to guiding Dingo into our next stages of significant growth.
Since 2005, Gary has led ConocoPhillips’ marketing and direct sales, product development and management, brand advertising, promotion and programs, and lubricant research and development. He has served ConocoPhillips and its predecessor companies for 32 years, starting with Union Oil of California in Los Angeles. His early experience included positions in corporate economics, international crude oil, strategy development and marketing.
At Union Oil, Tocso and Phillips, Gary assumed increasing responsibility for managing the wholesale and retail fuels business in the California, Nevada and Arizona markets. Shortly after Conoco and Phillips merged, he assumed responsibility for strategy and planning for U.S. marketing in Houston.
Gary is a graduate of Yale University where he earned a degree in economics. He received an MBA in finance from The Marshall School of Business at Southern California University. Gary and his wife Peggy reside in The Woodlands, Texas. They have two grown daughters. Gary enjoys golfing, regular work outs and gardening.
Gary comments: "I am excited to have the chance to work with such an entrepreneurial and innovative company as Dingo. While Dingo has already demonstrated it brings a value-added impact to the mining industry, I believe my background and experience can be of benefit to the board in identifying additional growth opportunities going forward."
