NOIA Elects TecnhipFMC’s Jon Landes as NOIA Chair

The National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) Board of Directors has elected Jonathan Landes, President, Subsea of TechnipFMC, as the NOIA Chair for the 2024-2025 term. Joe Leimkuhler, Chief Operating Officer of Beacon Offshore Energy, was elected as the 2024-2025 Vice Chair. Jon and Joe were confirmed in their positions during the NOIA Board of Directors meeting this morning. In a separate press release, NOIA announced the Executive Committee and Board of Directors positions for the 2024-2025 term.

NOIA President Erik Milito said, “We are at a critical juncture where it's imperative to ensure that energy policy from Washington, DC does not hinder American energy production. Whether it's advocating for offshore energy reform in Congress, providing greater certainty for oil and gas and wind lease sales, or implementing the first federal offshore carbon sequestration rules, Washington holds the key to shaping the future of domestic offshore energy development and production. With Jon and Joe at the helm, armed with their extensive expertise and unwavering dedication, we are poised to champion the interests of our industry. Together, we eagerly anticipate collaborating closely to advocate for the continued growth and prosperity of American offshore energy."

“We also must thank outgoing NOIA chair Paul Danos for his leadership and commitment in steadfastly representing the nation’s offshore sector.”

Our industry's success translates into high-quality jobs for American workers, the provision of affordable and lower carbon energy for our nation, and the development of environmental solutions that can enhance our communities. I eagerly anticipate partnering with the dedicated NOIA staff and am enthusiastic about deepening our collaboration with Joe to explore novel avenues for advocating on behalf of our industry. Together, we aim to champion policy solutions that bolster America's energy landscape.”
