Darren Woods
ExxonMobil: counter-cyclical capex, Pioneer acquisition
Darren Woods has served as Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil since 2017. He maintained aggressive capital investment through commodity downturns, a contrarian posture that drew criticism then vindication as margins recovered. His signature move was the 2024 all-stock acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources, sharply expanding ExxonMobil's Permian Basin footprint.
