HOUSTON, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CITGO Petroleum Corporation announced today that Mr. Curtis Rowe, Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, is retiring effective Friday, August 21, 2020, after serving in various capacities over a 29-year career with the Company.
"We thank Curtis for all his years of service to CITGO, and in particular for the strong financial position that CITGO is in today, notwithstanding the current downturn across the energy industry," said President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Jordá.
