FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- After nearly 20 years in marketing at Gulf Oil, Rick Dery is leaving the company to pursue other options just as the gasoline supplier brings in a new supply and trading lead with experience at three major convenience-store chains.
The company did not name a replacement.
In his tenure as senior vice president and chief marketing officer leading the Gulf marketing department, Dery was instrumental in the resurgence of the iconic Gulf brand that now flies flags in 34 states and Puerto Rico.
Gulf Oil also has appointed Jay P. Davis as a new team leader for oil supply and trading.
Davis, ex-senior director of fuels supply and transportation at 7-Eleven, CITGO and Wawa, brings more than 20 years of energy industry experience to Gulf Oil, as well as a wide array of skills and expertise, ranging from supply optimization to transportation as well as business development.
“We are committed to the Gulf brand and its growth, and as such we are excited to welcome Jay onboard,” said Jerry Ashcroft, CEO of Gulf. “He joins our strong team of talented individuals dedicated to providing limitless opportunities for our organization to expand and continue to succeed.”
