Biography

Kelcy Warren cofounded pipeline company Energy Transfer in 1996.

Warren, who launched the company with fellow billionaire Ray Davis, stepped down as CEO in 2020 but remains executive chairman.

Energy Transfer is one of the largest energy companies in the U.S., operating about 130,000 miles of pipeline for oil and natural gas.

In 2017, despite protests, Energy Transfer finished building the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline after an executive order by President Donald Trump.

Warren began his career in energy sweeping out warehouses for Sun Oil, where his father was a supply clerk.
