He returned to O’Reilly in 1997, where he has served on the executive committee since 2003, and has had various responsibilities, including: development of Risk Management and Legal areas, Energy Management, Corporate Integration for the CSK acquisition, chairman of Strategic Planning, and Treasury operations.
Price has oversight of regulatory and environmental compliance, as well as having been involved with several legislative reform initiatives; while most recently assuming responsibility for Governmental and Legislative Affairs.
