Riley Exploration Permian said Aug. 6 that it named Synthia R. Jaramillo senior vice president of corporate, government, tribal and community affairs. In the role, she will oversee external engagement in New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma.
The company said Jaramillo will lead work with government, tribal and community partners across the three-state area where Riley Permian operates. Her duties include government relations, tribal partnerships, community engagement, workforce opportunities, local supplier efforts, community investment and communication about the company’s economic and operational impact.
Riley Exploration Permian, which identifies itself as Riley Permian and uses the NYSE American ticker REPX, said Jaramillo will report to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bobby Riley. The company described itself as a growth-oriented upstream oil and gas company with operations in Texas and New Mexico and infrastructure projects that complement those operations.
The release said Jaramillo joined Riley Permian from the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, where she was chief growth and partnerships officer. It said she led national corporate partnerships, fundraising, small-business development and energy-focused initiatives tied to energy affordability, infrastructure, workforce development and economic opportunity.
Before that, Jaramillo was director of economic development for the City of Albuquerque, according to the release. The company said she led business recruitment, expansion and job-creation strategies there and helped advance private-sector investment in technology, film, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy.
Riley said in the release that the company wants to be more than an operator in the communities where it works. He said Jaramillo’s leadership would strengthen external engagement and help navigate what he called an evolving regulatory landscape.
Jaramillo said she is thrilled to join the leadership team and wants to help the company stay connected to local communities. She said she wants to build partnerships that support responsible development and lasting economic opportunity across New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma.
The release also said Jaramillo serves on the Board of Trustees of the National Hispanic Energy Council and the Board of Directors of the National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation. It said she has more than two decades of leadership experience.
The announcement was issued from Oklahoma City and included a forward-looking statements disclaimer tied to securities-law risks.
