Delek US Hires New General Counsel
“Brentwood, Tennessee-based Delek US Holdings and Delek Logistics Partners have appointed Abby Yates to the role of executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, effective April 9,” reports Ben Maiden in Corporate Secretary’s Appointments.
“Yates previously spent six years as general counsel, chief compliance counsel and senior vice president for HR at EthosEnergy, a joint venture between Siemens and Wood Group. Before that, she spent 10 years working at Wood Group, initially as senior litigation counsel and then as divisional counsel to the gas turbine services division. She began her career at law firm Morgan Lewis in Philadelphia and has also worked for Bracewell and Schlumberger in Houston.”
“Yates succeeds Regina Jones, who has elected to leave the company to pursue other opportunities, according to Delek US. Jones will remain with the company to ensure a smooth transition to Yates, the companies say in a statement. Jones joined Delek US in May 2018, having previously spent 12 years at Schlumberger, according to her LinkedIn profile.”
