Marathon's John T. Mills to retire
Posted: 14 August 2003
Marathon Oil Corporation announced John T. Mills, Marathon chief
financial officer, has elected to retire, effective December 1,
2003, following 27 years of service.
"John has made many important contributions to Marathon's
success during his distinguished career with our company,"
said Clarence P. Cazalot, Jr., Marathon president and CEO. "His
knowledge of our industry and business acumen were particularly
instrumental in guiding the company through the transition from
USX Corporation to Marathon Oil Corporation in 2002. We thank John
for his widely recognized reputation for personal and professional
integrity and for advocating high standards of excellence throughout
his career."
Mills joined Marathon Oil Company in Findlay, Ohio, in 1976 as
a tax specialist. He subsequently held a number of positions of
increasing responsibility within the Tax organization, becoming
chief tax counsel in 1984.
In 1986, he became director of Taxes, Energy for USX Corporation
and relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was appointed vice
president, Taxes for USX in 1987. In September 1998, Mills was appointed
senior vice president of Finance and Administration at Marathon
Oil Company. He was appointed to his current position in January
2002, upon the separation of United States Steel from USX and the
renaming of USX to Marathon Oil Corporation.
Mills was born in Canton, Ohio, in 1947. He earned a bachelor's
degree in economics from Ohio University in 1969, and a law degree
from Ohio State University in 1973. He is a member of the Financial
Executives Institute, the General Committee on Finance of the American
Petroleum Institute, and the National Council of the Ohio State
University College of Law Alumni Association. Mills holds memberships
in the American Bar Association and the Ohio Bar Association, and
is a member of the board of directors of Horizon Offshore.
Marathon is currently conducting an internal and external search
to identify potential candidates to succeed Mills. The company expects
to complete this process and name a successor in the fourth quarter
of this year.
