Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) has named Maryann T. Mannen, MPC president, to succeed Michael J.

Mannen, who joined MPC in 2021, has served as president since January of this year. Prior to joining MPC, Mannen was executive vice president and CFO of TechnipFMC, a global engineering services and energy technology company incorporated in the United Kingdom and headquartered in Paris and Houston.

As CEO Mannen said her priorities will “align with those that have made us the peer-leading energy investment we are today—an unwavering focus on safety, the environment and operational performance as we pursue commercial results that translate into greater shareholder value.”

Marathon Petroleum is an integrated, downstream energy company that operates the nation's largest refining system. It also offers Marathon- and ARCO-branded fuels at approximately 6,000 gas stations nationwide.

Ann Scott, senior director of electric vehicle charging and utilities at 7-Eleven, was recognized as one of the Top 10 Women in EV in the U.S. by EV Magazine. Scott was acknowledged for her mission to make EV charging convenient, while reducing 7-Eleven's carbon footprint.

Carr will report to the CCBSS board, which consists of 17 senior executives from 15 different U.S. Coca-Cola bottlers and the Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit (NAOU) leadership.

In her new role, Carr will oversee more than $70 billion in procurement spend.

She began working for Coca-Cola in 2001 and has since held roles of increasing responsibility, including senior vice president of business services.
