Quanta Services appointed Joseph Kim, president and chief executive officer of Sunoco GP LLC, to its board of directors on May 22, 2026. Kim brings supply chain, logistics, and energy industry expertise at a time when infrastructure contractors are managing increasingly complex grid modernization and energy buildout projects.
Kim's appointment fills a board seat as Quanta expands across utility, power, communications, and energy markets. Doyle N. Beneby, Quanta Services' independent chairman, said Kim's background in strategic planning, capital allocation, and operational execution strengthens the company's board as demand for large-scale infrastructure deployment continues growing. Kim currently oversees one of the country's largest fuel distribution and energy infrastructure networks at Sunoco, where he manages logistics and fuel distribution operations across the company's multistate footprint.
Kim has spent 15 years at Valero Energy, his most recent role being senior vice president of strategy and growth, before serving as chief operating officer at Pizza Hut, where he managed operational functions across a large franchise and corporate restaurant footprint. He joined Sunoco in October 2015 as executive vice president and chief development officer, responsible for all business development and merger and acquisition activities. He was promoted to president and chief operating officer in June 2017 and became CEO on January 1, 2018. Kim holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Trinity University and began his career with Arthur Andersen Business Consulting.
Quanta Services, headquartered in Houston, is an industry leader in providing specialized infrastructure solutions for the electric power, renewable energy, underground utility, and communications industries. The company designs, installs, upgrades, and maintains energy, load center, and communications infrastructure for utilities, power generation companies, and pipeline operators across North America and Australia. In May 2026, Quanta announced a new $1 billion stock repurchase program and a dividend of $0.44 per share on an annualized basis.
Kim's appointment signals Quanta's intention to strengthen its board with operators experienced in managing complex distribution systems and energy infrastructure networks. The hire represents a natural fit given Kim's two decades of experience scaling operations across energy, quick service restaurants, and fuel distribution, combined with his track record in strategic planning and supply chain management. As utilities accelerate investments in grid modernization and energy transition projects, Quanta's board gains insight into the operational challenges and procurement dynamics that drive demand for the company's infrastructure services.
