“Craig has a rich background in energy and finance and brings both investment banking and hands-on operations experience to our team,” said Getka Energy CEO Dariusz Cichocki. “He knows the crude oil business inside and out and has a passion for it. His expertise will be a great asset as we evaluate opportunities in the Midcontinent, including brownfield acquisitions and greenfield development of crude oil infrastructure.”

Gravity acquired, developed and operated a wholly owned liquid petroleum terminal asset, a 44-acre storage and crude processing facility on the Corpus Christi ship channel with marine, pipeline, rail and truck logistics. Peus managed the sale in late 2017 of Gravity’s assets to a joint venture led by Mercuria Energy Group Ltd.

Prior to Gravity, Peus spent 15 years as an investment banker providing corporate finance and advisory services with firms including Blossom Street Capital, MTS Health Partners L.P., and Salomon Brothers Inc. (now Citigroup). He also has served as founder and CEO of three companies in a variety of industries.

Peus is a graduate of Stanford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences. A native of Santa Barbara, California, Peus has lived and worked for extensive periods in New York City, San Francisco, Newport Beach (California) and Houston, and he is now proud to call Tulsa home with his wife and three children.

“I am thrilled to be joining Dariusz Cichocki and the rest of the Getka team,” Mr. Peus said. “Dariusz is a visionary leader who is dedicated to innovation and building a great culture.
