President, Pivotal Energy Development
In November 2005, Dana A. Grams was named president of Pivotal Energy Development, an AGL Resources business unit whose mission is to "originate, acquire, develop, operate and optimize."
Grams leads a business development team responsible for identifying and developing assets such as Golden Triangle Storage and Jefferson Island Storage & Hub that extend AGL Resources' current natural gas business, providing the company with a sharper strategic focus on project development activities promoting future growth. Before becoming president, Grams was senior vice president at Pivotal.
Prior to 2003, Grams served as senior vice president of asset management at Sequent Energy Management, the Houston-based AGL Resources subsidiary focused on fuel supply, asset management and optimization, producer services, wholesale marketing and risk management. Grams oversaw Sequent’s supply and distribution operations, and his duties included ensuring natural gas supplies for three AGL Resources subsidiaries -- Atlanta Gas Light, Chattanooga Natural Gas and Virginia Natural Gas -- as well as coordinating Sequent’s wholesale market activities and managing gas control. Grams also worked to leverage AGL Resources’ assets in the wholesale market, including financial opportunities in the present and future markets.
Before joining AGL Resources, Grams held management positions at two natural gas companies, Coral Energy and Phibro Energy USA. He began his energy career in 1980 as a reservoir geologist at MidCon Services/Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, where he rose to become district manager of gas supply for Houston and New Orleans.
Grams attended the United States Air Force Academy and graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in geology.
Grams and his wife live in the Houston suburb of West University and have two grown daughters as well as two children at home.
