Pierce Schuessler has been named CEO of the Florida Petroleum Marketers Association, effective immediately.
Schuessler joins the Tallahassee-based trade group from Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, where he worked in government relations and advised clients on legislative and regulatory matters in Florida.
FPMA Board Chair Greg Threadgill said Schuessler’s background working with policymakers and industry stakeholders made him a strong fit to lead the organization.
“Pierce’s leadership experience and strong relationships throughout Florida’s legislative and regulatory landscape make him an exceptional choice to guide FPMA forward,” he said. “We are confident that his vision and commitment will strengthen our association and elevate the voice of our members statewide.”
Schuessler will oversee FPMA’s strategic direction, member programs, advocacy initiatives, and industry partnerships. He will also lead the association’s efforts to support Florida’s fuel marketers, convenience retailers, and supply chain partners as they navigate evolving regulatory, economic, and technological challenges.
“I am honored to join FPMA and serve an industry that plays such a vital role in Florida’s economy and daily life,” Schuessler said. “I look forward to working with our members, partners, and policymakers to advance FPMA’s mission and champion the interests of this essential sector.”
Schuessler will be formally introduced to FPMA members during the association’s Legislative Days on the Hill, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. He will also play a leadership role in planning and executing the Sunshine EXPO, FPMA’s annual industry conference and trade show, in July.
