PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2013--PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE: PBF) announced today that Don Lucey, Executive Vice President - Commercial, has elected to retire, effective December 31, 2013. Mr. Lucey will continue to be responsible for day-to-day management of the Commercial group through June 1, 2013. At that time, Paul Davis, Senior Director - Crude Oil Origination, and Todd O'Malley, Senior Director - Clean Products, will become co-heads of Commercial, reporting to PBF Chief Executive Officer Tom Nimbley.

Mr. Davis will have responsibilities relative to crude oil, while Mr. O’Malley will manage products. During his remaining tenure, Mr. Lucey will assist in ensuring a steady transition, as well as working on pending corporate projects.

PBF Energy CEO Tom Nimbley said, “Don has been a key executive with PBF since the Company was formed in March 2008. With his broad experience in the commercial area, he provided strategic and tactical counsel, playing a vital role in growing the Company over the last five years. We are pleased that he will be assisting in the transition and thank him for his many contributions to our growth, including our expansion into the North American crude markets. We sincerely wish Don and his family well in the future.”

Mr. Davis worked for 16 years with Mobil Oil in various operational and commercial positions, including feedstocks, crude, and products; as well as optimization roles within refineries. He also spent five years with Premcor as a member of its Commercial group and seven years with HETCO in its NYC Commercial group.

Mr. O’Malley joined PBF in November 2010 from HETCO, where he had been trading oil products in London for two years. Prior to that, he ran the supply and trading organization at Gulf Oil. He previously traded oil products at a hedge fund, managed the northeast clean products book for Premcor and had similar roles in other companies.

Mr. Nimbley noted, “Both Paul and Todd bring diverse experiences to their new positions, and we look forward to continue building on our past successes.”
