API President and CEO Mike Sommers recently named Amanda Eversole as Executive Vice President. Eversole will oversee the day-to-day operations of the organization to support API’s more than 600 members throughout the energy supply chain.

“As API marks its 100th anniversary, Amanda’s experience and leadership are critical to positioning our industry to continue to meet growing consumer demand with cleaner, affordable and reliable natural gas and oil for the next century and beyond,” said Sommers. “Amanda is a true partner, strategic thinker and problem solver who has quickly built confidence and trust throughout API and our membership. I’m pleased that she’s agreed to step into this expanded leadership role.”
“This is an exciting time for U.S. energy leadership. I am honored to play a greater role in this world class organization that is shedding light on all the ways our industry is leading in technology innovation and safety programs, emissions reductions, and societal benefits for all Americans,” said Eversole. “We have an exceptional API team and strong membership, and I look forward to the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for this organization, our industry, and our country.”
Eversole joined API last fall as Chief Operating Officer and previously held senior positions at J.P. Morgan Chase and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
