“In her 13 years at API, Holly has shaped some of the most high-profile policy decisions and served as a true champion for this industry. I am confident that she will be a successful leader for the Upstream Policy Team,” said API Senior Vice President of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs Frank Macchiarola. “I also want to thank Cole for his leadership and am looking forward to continuing to work with him in his new role as Senior Counsel.”
