Port Houston has appointed Eric Casey as chief operating officer and Parker Harrison as chief legal officer.
“I am thrilled Eric and Parker have joined the Port Houston team. Their expertise and leadership reflect our commitment to investing in top-tier talent to support the continued growth and future of our port and maritime economic development,” said Port Houston ceo Charlie Jenkins.
Casey has extensive experience in port operations and logistics, having formerly served as executive vice president, global ports at Cold Summit, ceo of the port of Wilmington (Delaware) and vice president at Virginia International Terminals. He replaces long-time chief operating officer Tom Heidt, who retired earlier this year.
Harrison joins Port Houston from Crowley, where she served most recently as chief legal and risk officer and corporate secretary. She brings experience in maritime law, enterprise risk management, and insurance. Harrison succeeds Erik Eriksson, who will retire in the coming months.
“We are grateful for the leadership and lasting contributions of both Tom Heidt and Erik Eriksson,” added Jenkins. “Their dedication helped shape Port Houston, and as we welcome new leaders, we remain focused on the future.”
