Neste appoints Jeremy Baines President of Neste U.S.

Following on the opening of three new gas stations in California, the Finnish fuel distributor and retailer has appointed a new president.

Jeremy Baines has been appointed as President of Neste US. In this role he is responsible for supporting and aligning regional business strategies to deliver the strategic growth targets, and he acts as Neste’s primary representative for the external community in the U.S.

“The US presents important opportunities for our growth strategy and we want to strengthen our position in the country. I am very happy to appoint Jeremy Baines to lead the fast growing US organisation and to further accelerate our strategy implementation in the market,” says Neste’s President and CEO Peter Vanacker.

“Neste MY Renewable Diesel is already helping states like California and Oregon to reduce their transportation related CO2 emissions and we have also started collaboration and partnerships to drive sustainable aviation in the country. It makes me proud to be enabling a more sustainable future and together with the high performing team, we will take the Neste business in the US to a new level,” comments Jeremy Baines, President of Neste US.

Last week, Neste opened three new sites in the state of California. The first location opened by the Finnish company was in March 2019 in San Leandro, California.
