HOUSTON, April 22 (Reuters) - U.S. fuel retailer Pilot

Travel Centers named Gary Hoogeveen president of its energy

business, the latest executive change since Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK/A )

took over the firm.

Hoogeveen, who was CEO of Berkshire's Rocky Mountain Power,

has held several management roles at Berkshire Hathaway Energy

since 2000, the company said in a statement.

He will oversee Pilot's fuel supply chain, fuel procurement,

logistics and transportation among other things.

Brad Jenkins, Pilot's previous president for the energy

business and Bill Cashmareck, vice president of Petroleum

Marketing and Business Development, left the company in January.

The company this year had replaced its chief executive and

finance chief with longtime Berkshire executives and last year

released about 15 employees, mostly tied to its crude oil

trading operations.

Known for its Pilot Flying J truck stops, Knoxville,

Tennessee-based Pilot had expanded a fuel purchase and trading

business by recruiting experienced diesel, gasoline and crude

oil traders.

Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK/A ) this year completed acquisition of Pilot

by buying the last 20% it did not previously own. Pilot operates

more than 725 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
