The Port of Corpus Christi has announced Kyle Hogan as the incoming Chief Operating Officer, succeeding Clark Robertson, who will retire on 3 September 2024.
Hogan most recently served as commander of the Corpus Christi Army Depot. His distinguished military career spans three decades, including 15 years with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) Airborne.
“I am honoured to begin the next chapter of my career with this world-class team. The Port of Corpus Christi is critical in the global energy marketplace. I am excited to continue reinforcing that position via a strong focus on operations and workforce development,” stated Kyle Hogan.
As a credentialed executive coach specializing in talent development and process improvement, Hogan will oversee Engineering Services, Port Operations, Police and Security, Emergency Management, and Channel & DMPA Development in his new role at the US Port.
He will officially start on 12 August and work alongside Robertson until his retirement to ensure a smooth transition. Robertson, who joined the Port of Corpus Christi in 2018 after over three decades in executive commercial and operational roles, significantly expanded the Port’s rail portfolio and facility footprint, leading to record growth to meet unprecedented demand.
“Kyle brings significant experience given his extensive background supporting critical military operations. His professional outlook and commitment to developing effective teams is a terrific complement to our culture and vision. We have made great progress in growing the professionalism of our organization and capacity to handle new business under Clark’s leadership, and we look forward to continuing that trajectory under Kyle’s leadership of our Operations Team,” mentioned Kent Britton, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Corpus Christi.
