Hess, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory P. Hill, President and Chief Operating Officer of Hess Corporation, and John P.

The three independent directors—Stephen J.J. Letwin, David W. Niemiec, and John P. Reddy—will continue to serve on the Board and will continue to serve on the Audit Committee. Hess Midstream expects to appoint a fourth independent Board member in the future.
Executive officer appointments have also been made. Jonathan C. Stein, currently the Chief Financial Officer of Hess Midstream, has been named Chief Executive Officer, succeeding John B. Hess. Michael J. Chadwick has been appointed Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Mr. Stein. Chadwick has held increasingly senior financial roles since joining Hess in 2000, most recently serving as Vice President and Controller since 2022.
"These changes reflect the strategic partnership between Hess and Chevron and our commitment to driving shareholder value," said Andy Walz, Chairman of the Hess Midstream Board. "We are excited for the future and look forward to working together to enhance Hess Midstream's performance."
