Griffin joins Calumet from Energy XXI, a publicly listed energy E&P company where he was one of the three founders and also served as CFO from 2005 to 2014. Throughout his tenure with Energy XXI, Griffin employed his extensive background in debt refinancing and capital markets solutions to oversee the refinancing of the firm's capital structure and numerous growth-oriented acquisitions.

This new leadership position will be responsible for further developing key organisational functions including all accounting, IT, and external reporting.
“West's deep energy experience and history of navigating numerous energy cycles make him a perfect fit for Calumet at this time. West's significant capital markets and corporate transformation background will help drive Calumet's strategy to both deliver the business in the near-term and to grow the partnership over the long-term, as we reposition Calumet as the premier producer of speciality petroleum products. We are very excited to welcome West to our growing leadership team and look forward to working with him,” said Timothy Go, CEO.
