As first reported in POLITICO Influence, National Ocean Industries Association President Erik Milito is pleased to announce the hiring of Matt Giacona as Vice President, Government Affairs:
“I’m excited to announce that Matt will be joining the NOIA team. Matt has quickly demonstrated an entrepreneurial approach towards advocacy and a willingness to work with both sides of the aisle. 2023 will be a busy year for all segments of American offshore energy - oil and gas, wind, carbon sequestration and more – and NOIA will hit the ground running with Matt. I – and the entire NOIA Team – look forward to working with Matt to elevate the offshore energy industry and advance smart energy solutions."
Matt was previously the Director, Government & Industry Affairs for the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC), where he represented the industry for the past three-plus years. In his role with IADC, Matt led advocacy efforts for the organization.
