Javier La Rosa has been appointed to lead a broad Chevron portfolio which includes a number of the company’s key global assets. La Rosa’s new role as president of Base Assets and Emerging Countries (BAEC), is effective July 1,2025 and he will be based at Chevron’s Houston headquarters.
La Rosa will be responsible for the strategic leadership and overall performance of the BAEC organization, which includes heavy oil assets in the Partitioned Zone (located between Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), San Joaquin Valley (California), and Venezuela; domestic gas assets in Bangladesh and Thailand; non-operated joint ventures in the UK, Canada and China; countries with emerging assets such as Egypt and Cyprus, and legacy assets such as Indonesia.
La Rosa’s appointment follows an announcement by Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) in February 2025, of the company’s efforts to simplify its organizational structure, execute faster and more effectively, and be positioned for stronger long-term competitiveness.
“I am honored to be appointed to this new role. I believe the key to advancing and maintaining partnerships is trust. Partnerships between people, companies and countries are fundamental to providing reliable, affordable and ever cleaner energy,” said La Rosa.
It’s worth mentioning that Eric Walker will continue in his role as President and Managing Director of Chevron Bangladesh.
