Shane Burns is promoted to senior vice president of global sales, previously serving as vice president of national sales. Burns will now have a greater focus on Lucas Oil’s sales activity internationally including the company’s recently announced expansion into Brazil. His 15+ years of sales experience at Lucas Oil will be instrumental in expanding distribution networks and growing the company’s product offering in the global market.

He is tasked with strengthening Lucas Oil’s market presence across North America, optimizing sales performance and retail partnerships. 

“With these promotions we are strategically shifting our internal structure to best leverage each person’s unique strengths and experience to meet the evolving needs of our company and our customers,” said Lucas Oil CEO Morgan Lucas. “This realignment of roles underscores our commitment to maximizing the talents of our team so that they and the company grow together.
