Chevron Relocates Headquarters to Texas, Makes Senior Leadership Changes
Chevron Corporation has announced the relocation of its headquarters, as well as senior leadership changes within the company, in a recent press release.
New Headquarters
The company’s current headquarters in San Ramon, California, will be moved to Houston, Texas. Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth and Vice Chairman Mark Nelson will both also be relocating to the Houston area before the end of the year.
The approximately 2,000 employees the company has in California will experience minimal impact as a result of the change, according to Chevron, which will include all of its corporate operations migrating to Houston over the next five years.

Since 2016, she’s overseen the company’s people and culture strategy, which has included leadership succession, learning and talent, diversity and inclusion, workforce planning, and total rewards.
Vice President of Human Resources, Oil, Products & Gas Michelle Green will fill Morris’ role beginning Jan. 1, 2025.
