Expand Energy Appoints Daniel Brown as Chief Executive

The 51-year-old executive arrives at Expand Energy with a compensation package featuring a $1 million annual base salary, supplemented by a performance bonus targeted at 125% of that base pay. His transition from Chord Energy, where he served as president and CEO since July 2024, was confirmed by both firms on Monday.

Michael Wichterich, who assumed the role of interim president and CEO after Dell’Osso exited the company in February, will relinquish his temporary executive duties. He is scheduled to return to his previous position as non-executive chairman of the board.
