John Mollenkopf
EVP and Chief Operating Officer MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (Retired) | Retired
A little about my career path: Graduated from CU Boulder with BSME 1983 and went to work in the oil and gas industry for ARCO that same year. Worked as a process and project engineer for 13 years until coming to work for a small independent midstream company, MarkWest in 1996. Was part of a management team that grew the company from a $50 million dollar value to $20 billion dollar value by 2015. Retired as chief operating officer in 2016.
Ask me about: Design of natural gas processing plants, working for large companies versus small companies, growing small businesses into large businesses. Classes that best prepare an engineer for the oil and gas midstream business. Tesla cars, solar panels, RC airplanes/helicopters, road biking.
