Notable changes of the guard as of late. One we knew was coming but still caught by surprise when Warren Buffett suddenly announced last weekend that moment had arrived. Then there’s one most folks didn’t see coming at all. But like they say, timing is everything.

Reese Energy Consulting today is following the latest from Mother Timing and Williams CEO Alan Armstrong. After 40 years with the company—the last 14 in his current role—Armstrong will step down July 1 to become executive chairman. Chad Zamarin, EVP of corporate strategic development, will succeed him.

Sharing the company’s blockbuster 1Q report this week, Armstrong remarked Williams was “firing on all cylinders” between traditional market needs for natural gas and growing opportunities in LNG and AI-driven data centers. With projects in the queue beyond 2030, Williams has its hands full. But a proposed pipeline in the Marcellus—one that Williams canceled as lead developer in 2020 after years of litigious torment—is showing new signs of life. The Administration in February called for completion of the 124-mile Constitution pipeline to further unblock gas supplies flowing to N.Y., and New England. Is Mother Timing at play?

Armstrong says Williams is “absolutely open” to build the Constitution if state and local pathways are opened. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says he’s on top of making this happen. Timing.
