Energy infrastructure major Archrock Inc. has appointed veteran Indian American energy executive Mohit Singh as its new senior vice president and chief financial officer, effective July 6.
Singh succeeds Douglas S. Aron, who is retiring from the Houston-based natural gas compression services firm. The corporate transition arrives as Archrock positions itself for its next phase of growth amid expanding marketplace demands for natural gas infrastructure.
Singh joins the company with a professional record spanning more than 25 years across the energy value chain, corporate finance, and investment banking.
Singh’s career is anchored by an elite educational foundation that began in India. He earned a Bachelor of Technology in chemical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1997.

After moving to the United States, he balanced his academic transitions to earn a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Houston in 2001, followed by a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008.

He most recently served as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Chesapeake Energy Corp. from 2021 through its 2024 merger with Southwestern Energy Co., which established Expand Energy Corp. He then continued to guide the combined enterprise as its financial chief until August 2025.
Before his leadership tenure at Chesapeake, Singh spent six years on the executive team at BPX Energy, the domestic onshore subsidiary of BP. While there, he led mergers and acquisitions, exploration portfolios, and business development initiatives, eventually serving as senior vice president of the North Business Unit.
