Rex Wayne Tillerson

The new US Secretary of State Rex Wayne Tillerson was born in March 1952 in Texas. He spent his childhood and adolescence in the town of Wichita Falls, as well as in Oklahoma.

Rex grew up an active young man. It is known that he participated in the Boy Scout movement, and in 1965 he was even awarded the title of Eagle Scout. For Boy Scouts, this is the highest achievement, which in the entire history of the movement was awarded only 4% of all participants.

In 1970, Rex Wayne graduated from Huntsville High School, Texas.

And in 1975, the young man received a diploma from the University of Texas at Austin. Here he thoroughly studied engineering.

The young specialist immediately got down to business. Rex Tillerson's career has developed rapidly. The start was taken at the ExxonMobil fields. Already in the mid-1980s, he became the head of the business development service in the gas department of this famous corporation. And in January 2006, after the retirement of Lee Raymond, he was elected chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer (CEO).

It is known that Tillerson in these years, despite being very busy, found time for the Boy Scouts movement, which he became interested in in his early youth. From 2010 to 2012, he served as the head of the association. He later resigned from these powers, but remained on the executive board. 

Rex Tillerson advocated lifting the Boy Scout Club membership ban for gay men.

In 2011, ExxonMobil, causing considerable irritation in Washington, signed a contract for the production of oil in Iraqi Kurdistan. And the entrepreneur managed to achieve the cancellation of the ban on exporting crude oil from America that had existed for several decades. Another victory on his account is the removal of restrictions on the development of projects for the export of liquefied gas.

Все эти прорывы принесли отличный результат компании, возглавляемой Рексом Тиллерсоном. Exxon в 2014 году получила 34 миллиарда долларов чистой прибыли, уплатив в бюджет США 80 миллиардов долларов в качестве налога.

Но в том же году ExxonMobil недополучила 1 миллиард долларов из-за санкций, введённых против России. В 2011-ом американский бизнесмен подписал с Российской Федерацией выгодное соглашение о совместном бурении с «Роснефтью» в Арктике, а именно на Сахалине, в Карском море и Сибири. Но бурение стартовало лишь летом 2014-го в Карском море. В сентябре проект пришлось свернуть.

По оценкам некоторых авторитетных американских экспертов, концерн ExxonMobil оказался едва ли не самым пострадавшим от санкций Америки. Ведь ему пришлось свернуть работы по 9 проектам.

Не удивительно, что миллионер был настроен против санкций по отношении к России, о чём открыто говорил журналистам. Более того, он признался, что с нетерпением ждёт отмены санкций и возвращения к сотрудничеству с Россией.

Рекс Тиллерсон занимает видное место среди мировых нефтяников. Он вошел в совет попечителей Центра стратегических и международных исследований. Кроме того, он член исполнительного комитета Американского нефтяного института и член Общества инженеров-нефтяников. В 2013-ом его избрали членом Национальной академии инженерных наук.

По итогам журнала Forbes в 2015 году Рекс Тиллерсон очутился на 25-ой ступеньке рейтинга самых влиятельных персон мира.

The head of ExxonMobil has never disowned warm relations and business ties with Russia. At the beginning of 2016, speaking at the University of Texas, he said that he had long known Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their "very close relationship" has been going on for 15 years. Back in 1998, the oilman was appointed vice president of Exxon Ventures, which is responsible for projects in the former Soviet republics. In the same year, Rex was elected president of Exxon Neftegas Ltd., which develops oil fields in the Caspian Sea.

And the American has such friendly relations with the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin that Sechin even admitted plans to “ride motorcycles with Rex Tillerson across America”.

In 2012, Rex Tillerson visited the Kremlin, where he was awarded the Order of Friendship "for his significant contribution to the preservation and development of Russian culture abroad."

According to the president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Hamr, Tillerson "communicated with Vladimir Putin more than any other US citizen, with the exception of perhaps Henry Kissinger."

Not surprisingly, many members of Congress, who learned that Rex Tillerson visited the "Trump Tower" on December 6, this visit immediately caused a storm of not the most rosy emotions. After all, this meant that the newly elected US President Donald Trump was considering the candidacy of "Vladimir Putin's friend" for the post of Secretary of State in his future cabinet. The influential publication The Wall Street Journal immediately expressed concern about the possible appointment.

Some Democratic congressmen have already said they will block Rex Tillerson's candidacy at the time of approval if Trump decides to nominate him.

On December 13, 2016 it became known that Donald Trump chose Tillerson.

It is known that Rex Tillerson's personal life has long been arranged. He has been married to a woman named Renda St. Clair for many years.
