Expand Energy Corporation announced that Marcel Teunissen will serve as its Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The appointment was disclosed on April 6 2026 and follows Teunissen’s recent tenure as President of North America for Parkland Corporation and a four‑year period as Parkland’s CFO.
Teunissen brings more than two decades of experience in the energy sector. He spent over 20 years with Shell plc in senior finance, commercial, and strategy roles, including Vice President of Finance for Integrated Gas Ventures and Executive Vice President of Finance for Global Integrated Gas and New Energies. Prior to Shell, he served as President of North America for Parkland and as Parkland’s CFO from 2020 to 2024. He holds a master’s degree in economics from Erasmus University in Rotterdam.
Expand Energy is North America’s largest natural gas producer, operating primarily in the Appalachian Basin and the Haynesville Shale. The company has positioned itself around debt reduction, disciplined capital spending, and consistent shareholder returns, while pursuing growth in natural gas production and market connectivity.
"Marcel brings a rare blend of financial depth, disciplined strategic leadership, and hands‑on operations experience across the full energy value chain. As Expand Energy enters the next chapter in its growth, Marcel's experience with large global natural gas and LNG businesses and complex business transformations makes him exactly the kind of leader who can elevate our entire organization," said Michael Wichterich, Chairman of the Board, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. "I'm honored to join North America's largest natural gas producer as the Company's momentum accelerates. Natural gas demand is surging, driven by AI power generation, industrial, and global LNG, and no company is better positioned to capture this structural wave of growth than Expand Energy. I am eager to join the team and help build on the company's strong foundation and advance a commercial approach to delivering results across the gas value chain," added Teunissen.
The appointment signals Expand Energy’s intent to strengthen its financial leadership and accelerate its growth strategy. Teunissen’s background in global gas and LNG finance is expected to support the company’s focus on debt reduction, disciplined capital allocation, and shareholder returns, while positioning Expand Energy to capture the rising demand for natural gas driven by data‑center power needs and LNG exports.
The new CFO will join the board and is expected to play a key role in guiding Expand Energy’s financial strategy as the company continues to expand its natural gas production and market connectivity initiatives.
