(Bloomberg) Before Greg Goff was elected as a dissident director to Exxon Mobil Corp.’s board, the oil company called him “unqualified.” Yet it’s hard to find many people who would agree with that assessment, least of all the man himself.
“I am the best oil executive in the world,” he told a room full of Wall Street analysts over a steak dinner about a decade ago, according to one of those present.
Goff went on to explain at the time that, uniquely in his view, he had senior management experience in the main areas that define the oil industry: upstream (production), midstream (pipelines) and downstream (refining).
