Bill Braun

Bill Braun serves as the CIO and President of Information Technology at Chevron, a position he has held since 2015. Having started with the company in 1991 as a programmer, Braun brings extensive experience and insights to his role, overseeing the thousands of employees within Chevron’s IT organization and actively advising on potential technology investments.

Under Braun's leadership, Chevron has seen advancements in IT performance and the integration of new technologies into business operations. Braun views AI as a tool to enhance human productivity rather than replace it. In 2018, he played a pivotal role in establishing a partnership with Microsoft for the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-powered predictive maintenance program for oil field refineries. Recognizing the potential impact of small startups, Braun also engages in partnerships via Chevron Technology Ventures, the company’s corporate venture fund. In July 2023, Chevron made a significant move by joining the Responsible AI Institute.
