The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Interim leadership is the defining structural feature: both the CEO and CFO roles are filled on an acting basis simultaneously.
Franklin Myers stepped in as Acting CEO in February 2026 while Vivek Garg was appointed Acting CFO the same month, creating a temporary executive core during succession planning. The rest of the executive team remains stable, with Operations, Commercial, and Legal led by executives appointed in 2023–2024.
HF Sinclair operates a divisional structure aligned to refining, midstream, and lubricants & specialties, but at the corporate level the CEO maintains a relatively narrow span of control with four direct reports. The absence of a permanent CFO and the interim CEO’s dual role as Board Chair concentrate governance and management oversight during the transition period.
- Acting CEO and Acting CFO appointed within one week
- No COO role
