DEMETRIUS G. SCOFIELD (1911-1917)
Demetrius G. Scofield served as the first CEO of Standard Oil Co. of California (later Chevron).
He led the company through a period of expansion in oil exploration, production, and distribution across California and the Southwest.
Scofield focused on disciplined growth—overseeing the construction of an oil tanker fleet and expanded refining capacity—but faced a tad of criticism over fuel pricing,
He resigned after supporting America’s World War I efforts.
