I could not be prouder of how well the partnership is positioned as we kick off another new year in 2022,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have an incredible management team and dedicated work force at Crestwood, and I am very excited to announce these well-earned executive promotions which both rewards significant contributions to Crestwood’s success and further aligns our commercial, operations and finance functions going forward. With the recently expanded and independent board of directors, the pending merger with Oasis Midstream, and the new management operating structure under Robert and Diaco’s leadership, I’m quite optimistic about Crestwood’s ability to continue driving sustainable value for our investors for the long-term future.”
