Business Development Manager (Energy and Utility Solutions)

The story of World Kinect Corporation is a compelling narrative of strategic evolution, transforming from a focused fuel provider into a global energy management powerhouse. What began in 1984 as World Fuel Services Corporation, a company primarily centered on the marine fuel services business, has since embarked on a remarkable journey of growth and diversification. This journey was significantly shaped by a series of strategic acquisitions that broadened its horizons far beyond its initial scope. A pivotal moment came with the acquisition of Trans-Tec Services, Inc., a move that brought key future leaders, including current CEO Michael J. Kasbar, into the fold and solidified its foundation in the global marine fuel market. This was just the beginning of an ambitious expansion strategy.

Throughout the years, the company continued to build on its core business by acquiring companies that expanded its capabilities and market reach. The purchase of U.S. Energy Services in 2013, for instance, was a landmark deal that propelled the company into the natural gas and power sectors, laying the groundwork for what would become the Kinect Energy Group. This division now offers sophisticated energy management advisory and fulfillment services across the globe. Recognizing that its identity had outgrown its name, the company rebranded to World Kinect Corporation, a name that better reflects its comprehensive suite of solutions across the entire energy spectrum—from traditional fuels to renewable energy and sustainability services. Today, operating in over 200 countries and territories, World Kinect is not just a fuel distributor; it is a vital partner to over 150,000 customers in the aviation, marine, and land transportation industries, guiding them through the complexities of the global energy market and leading the charge toward a more sustainable, lower-carbon future.
