Marie Hunter
In 2008, the unstable economic situation of both Marie’s industry and the nation left her without a job, but not without a plan. She and her father, George Mathis, had eyed the petroleum industry with interest for years.
No one could miss the fact that oil and oil products dominated the economy, and even individual lives; because of the rise and fall of prices at gasoline stations. But Marie wanted to know about the business opportunities that existed beyond the pump. The answers she found to her questions launched KRG Oil company in 2009
