John Byrd
Executive Vice President and CFO

As Executive Vice President and CFO at Mansfield Oil, Byrd is a hands-on leader who focuses on perfecting each transaction for optimal efficiency, which reduces the overall fuel spend for each Mansfield customer. He is a firm believer that you only get better at something by tracking and monitoring it, and he is known for establishing efficiencies and metrics in every function for which he is responsible. By establishing these metrics and continuously focusing on them, he and his team have reduced the time it takes to invoice customers by approximately 50% and have sliced invoicing errors by 35%.

Over the next two years, Byrd plans to make 'touching paper" an exception - and accurate, immediate electronic processing the standard. He and his team have already made great strides into this endeavor by receiving roughly 80% of their supplier invoices and Bills of Lading electronically. His goal is to help customers have more visibility than ever into their total fuel spend and to drive the customer's cost of processing a fuel transaction down through automation and technology. Utilizing his accounting and consulting background, Byrd will accomplish the above also by working with customers to perform a "Gap Analysis" on the customer's processes and procedures to make them as efficient and accurate as possible while accounting for every gallon the customer purchases to reduce fuel shrink.

Before joining Mansfield, Byrd was with TransMontaigne for four years as Senior Vice President of Accounting and Administration and Corporate Controller, responsible for both the operational and back-office accounting. Prior to TransMontaigne, he was with Arthur Andersen for eight years in both the Audit Division and the Business Process Outsourcing Division, focusing on process consulting for energy trading companies. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Accounting from Louisiana State University.

Douglas S. Haugh
Executive Vice President and CIO

Doug has worked in the energy and technology industries for the past 15 years. A chemical engineer by education, Doug began his career in the industry with Exxon in marketing and business development, eventually leading business development activities for lubricant and specialty products across the western U.S.

Doug has concentrated on building high performance organizations that focus on developing leading edge processes and technology to manage complex supply chains. As co-founder and

COO at FuelQuest, Haugh created supply chain management and tax automation solutions throughout the downstream energy industry for clients like Wal-Mart, Ryder, 7-Eleven, UPS, and Chevron.

Doug is responsible for all of Mansfield's sales and marketing activities including national account sales, channel sales, new business development, corporate marketing, and field sales force operations.  Leading sales and marketing and being the CIO may seem like quite an odd combination until one considers that much of the value Mansfield creates for customers is technology driven.  Doug's ability to bring these two roles together provides Mansfield with a unique competitive advantage.

Doug brings a global perspective and entrepreneurial spirit to help Mansfield customers overcome the challenges they face today in fuel supply, financial controls, and risk management. Haugh was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Energy Technology, Houston and Gulf Coast Area, 2006.  This year Doug was honored as a 2009 Clemson Alumni Entreprenuer by the Arthur M. Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Clemson University. He is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Clemson University in Chemical Engineering and holds an MBA in Technology Management.
