Two long-time government relations experts in Colorado’s oil and gas sector have moved along to new positions.
Chris Castilian, who for nine years worked on government relations for Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC) throughout the Rocky Mountains, most recently as its director of strategy and engagement, has decamped to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO).
Castilian, a fourth-generation Coloradan, started as GOCO’s new executive director on March 6. GOCO invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers, and open spaces.
Also entering a new chapter is Jack Ekstrom — who retired in January from Denver’s Whiting Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: WLL), where he was the oil and gas company’s vice president of corporate and government relations — but didn’t stay retired for long.
