Cheniere said in a statement that Vitalone is considered an independent director and has been appointed to the audit and compensation committees.
According to Cheiere, Vitalone brings over 30 years of executive leadership experience to the board.
In 2026, he retired from McKesson Corporation, a diversified healthcare services company, where he was executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Prior to McKesson, Vitalone held financial leadership roles at companies across various industries.
“Britt’s decades of executive leadership experience and financial expertise will complement and enhance the perspectives of our board for the benefit of our stakeholders. We look forward to Britt’s insight and contributions to help support and guide Cheniere’s success into the future,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s chairman, president, and CEO.
Cheniere operates the 30 mtpa Sabine Pass LNG terminal in Lousiana and the Corpus Christi facility, which is currently undergoing expansion.
The first three Corpus Christi trains have a capacity of approximately 15 mtpa.
The Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project, which is nearing completion, includes building seven midscale trains, each with an expected liquefaction capacity of about 1.49 mtpa.
Cheniere is also seeking authorization from the US FERC to increase the capacity of these trains and the other two midscale trains.
Upon completion of these expansion projects, and together with expected debottlenecking, the Corpus Christi LNG terminal is expected to reach over 30 mtpa in total liquefaction capacity later this decade.
