Adrian Tolson Joins Aegean as Managing Director, Aegean Oil USA
Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. [NYSE: ANW] (Aegean) today has announced in an emailed statement that Adrian Tolson has joined the bunker supplier as Managing Director of its subsidiary, Aegean Oil USA LLC.
"In his new role, Adrian Tolson will develop new physical supply locations and also assist in the marketing of Aegean as it continues to both grow and expand its footprint worldwide," Aegean said.
Tolson is an extremely experienced and well known industry figure, and has held senior positions at a number of bunker companies including Vice President, Marine Fuels, Noble Bunkering, and Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing at Chemoil.
He was most recently General Manager, OW Bunker – North America, having joined the company in October 2012 "to drive Physical growth in North America," and oversaw the company's launch of physical supply operations in the Gulf of Mexico, Los Angeles and Long Beach, and New York and New Jersey.
Industry watchers had been widely expecting Tolson to make the switch to Aegean when last month it took over OW Bunker's operations in the Gulf of Mexico, and Los Angeles and Long Beach, following the collapse of OW Bunker and subsequent filing for Chapter 11 in the U.S..
"Adrian Tolson, comes to Aegean with a diverse background in the marine fuel industry spanning almost 29 years. He is well known within the industry and well respected for both his broad industry experience and thought leadership on industry critical issues," said Aegean.
"Mr. Tolson's understanding will be valuable to Aegean as the company navigates its way through the challenges of today's bunkering industry."
Tolson will be based in the U.S. East Coast and will work from both the New York and Connecticut offices of Aegean.
His contact details are as follows:

In November Aegean's President E. Nikolas Tavlarios said "2015 may be a landmark year" for the bunker supplier.
