"A very big welcome to Vincent DiCosimo as our new Chairman,” said TPA President, Thure Cannon. “For many years, he has served on the TPA Board, most recently as Vice Chairman. His vision and sage counsel have been invaluable to the Texas Pipeline Association. At the same time, we would like to thank Shay Bluntzer for his dedication and leadership over the past two years as our Chairman. We are very fortunate to have this level of leadership to help guide us through many challenging and exciting times for the midstream industry."
DiCosimo has served as an officer of Targa Resources since the acquisition of his company, Coast Energy Group LLC, in December of 2010. Prior to his current role, DiCosimo was Senior Vice President of Targa Petroleum Logistics at Targa Resources. He previously served as Founder and CEO of Coast Energy LLC, Co-founder and CEO of PipeStem Energy Group, Vice President of marketing for Enterprise Products Partners, Founder and CEO of RedMeteor LLC and Founder, CEO and EVP of Cornerstone Propane and Coast Energy Group, LP (NYSE).
DiCosimo currently serves as a director of International Liquids Terminal Association, vice Chairman of the Greater Houston Port Bureau, American Oil Pipeline Association Pipeline Leadership Committee, a director of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, Texas Oil and Gas board and Targa’s state and federal PACs. He represents Targa on the Greater Houston Partnership, North Dakota Petroleum Council, New Mexico Oil and Gas Association and the Petroleum Alliance. He graduated with honours from West Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Administration and attended the University of Houston for post graduate studies.
“I am honoured to continue to serve this great association,” said DiCosimo. “Especially as we work together with all the state’s stakeholders to ensure we can continue delivering the essential hydrocarbon energy for Texas to grow and thrive and provide regional and national security.”
