About Steve Neely, CEO & President
Few people can say that they know an industry inside-out—and Steve is one of them. He learned by doing: preparing payroll, placing orders, towing cars, and rebuilding engines; Steve has “been there, done that”.
Steve Neely, CEO & President
Few people can say that they know an industry inside-out—and Steve is one of them. He learned by doing: preparing payroll, placing orders, towing cars, and rebuilding engines; Steve has “been there, done that”. His dad and uncle also showed him how to work with people, how to treat and retain customers, and how to do business ‘right’. ‘Right’ is how Noil Corp Inc. has been doing it for over 60 years, and with Steve Neely at the helm, ‘right’ is how it will continue to be done.
The typical 9-year-old would likely choose a snow fight with siblings over pumping gas in the cold, but for Steve Neely, pumping gas was without question. Of course, Steve had his fair share of snow fights, but from an early age, he understood sacrifice. Sacrifice was when – as a child, in the freezing Chicago winter – he pumped a customer’s request for $1.00 worth of gas; and sacrifice is why, today, Steve Neely is known as a visionary, groundbreaking entrepreneur, market disruptor, and leader. With over 30 years of experience in management, strategy, and innovation across energy, telecommunications, business consultancy, and the food and beverage industry, Steve Neely is a trusted expert with a record of success.
Building on his father’s legacy, Steve went from being the owner of several gas stations, to the CEO and President of Noil Corp Inc.. For over 60 years, Noil (which has official carrier status) has distributed high-quality petroleum products to the federal government, major airlines, rail companies, cruise lines, service stations, car rental companies, and foreign countries. Noil’s partnerships with refineries has resulted in its access to over 1,400 fuel terminals across the U.S.
Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Texaco, BP, Phillips 66, Vitol, and British Petroleum (BP) are some of the major industry players with which Noil does business, and this testifies to Steve’s reputation as well as Noil’s. It is no surprise that in 2019, Steve was featured in Insight magazine, and was a finalist in the Platts Global Energy Awards. Complementing Steve’s spotlight is Noil’s feature in the upcoming May 2019 issue of Fortune 50 magazine.
Before becoming Noil’s CEO and President, Steve pursued a Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Commerce at UCLA. He then worked as County Deputy Sherriff in Chicago, Illinois, after which he formed Neely Industries Inc. His foray into telecommunications began with the creation of Ameritech Cellular/Skynet; not only was this Steve’s first telecomms company, but it was also the first licensed mobile store in the United States, and in Chicago’s financial district. Over the course of 10 years, the company opened 2500 stores nationwide—thanks to Steve’s entrepreneurial spirit and determination. Although Steve had no prior telecomms experience as the industry was still emerging, his business acumen, customer focus and solution-driven approach was key to his success.
Bolstered by these achievements, Steve established SkyWorld Communications Inc. The company was responsible for the launch of T-Mobile in the U.S. and it also became T-Mobile’s largest retailer in the U.S. Steve spearheaded the expansion from 68 stores in Chicago to 150 in the Midwest, and then he boldly tackled the West Coast. In 2003, Steve opened 40 Sprint PCS retail stores every 30 days in Southern California.
Fast-forward to 2010, Steve became CEO of SereniTea, a leading distributor of tea beverages with 1,400 outlets nationwide. Truly, Steve has been at the cusp of business revolutions: from the advent of self-service gas stations, to the spread of on-demand mobile technology. He has amassed diverse work experience, first-hand knowledge of challenges and opportunities in business, and a thorough understanding of the business climate. Steve leverages this wealth by offering consultancy services to national and international Fortune 100/500 companies and Global 2000 businesses. He specializes in operations, record-keeping, investments, finances, staff development (mentoring), and strategic and tactical decision making.
As a member of the American Petroleum Institute (API), Steve remains abreast with industry developments by attending conferences held by both the API and SIGMA Fuel. He is also a member of the Executive Club of Chicago, and a Governing Board Member of The Chicago International Film Festival.

Richard J. Groeneweg, Advisory
Acting as an advisory for Noil Corp Inc., Richard J. Groeneweg is the person with one of the most diversified and impressive portfolio. He is a sailor, a successful businessman, a leader, a happy husband, and an inspiring father. He has dedicated 40 years of his life to the commercial lending, private equity placement, and investment banking industry. During his career, while serving some of the most reputable companies in the finance industry, he has given them nearly seven billion dollars of business. He was heading thirteen branch offices for Beneficial Finance Corporation during which time he set new records for audits, personnel management, controls and loan approvals. He served Beneficial Finance Corporation for 14 years before founding his own business called Mid-Valley Mortgage of Denver.
He was the chief executive officer, president and founder of the company, and under his leadership, the company soon managed to spread to other states including Texas, Wyoming, and California. He has also served Residential Resources Inc. as a part owner, president, and CEO. S and P rated his issued CMOs AAA rating and all 17 of these CMOs were rated for nearly three billion dollars. Many others that have served the same roles as him have never been able to catch up with him due to his diverse expertise not only financial but marketing matters as well. He is a marketing specialist when it comes to marketing commercial paper and bonds. He is an authority when it comes to matters related to taxes and regulation, and cross-border leases.
He is the man behind the revamped profitable system of Delaware Department of Insurance and the transformation of the largest independent bus company called De Souza in Brazil. His experience is not limited to one country, not even one continent. He has been promoting and selling commodities for Dutch Trading International LLC in five continents of the world while serving the company as a managing director. It is this experience that makes him an indispensable asset for DTI and the professional that helps the company maximize its profits through the sale of middle distillates. As an approval of his invaluable services, DTI offered him an additional position as the Chief Executive Officer of the company in 2017.
As soon as assuming this role, Groeneweg was on a streak of achievements for the company arranging a large number of qualified buyers and sealing funding agreements with some of the largest fuel producers in the nation. He is now in pursuit of the next goal on his list i.e. obtaining direct approval from refineries for Dutch Trading International.
