Business profile

Updated

Williams is a U.S. energy-infrastructure company founded in 1908 and headquartered in Tulsa. Chad J. Zamarin is President and Chief Executive Officer. It gathers natural gas from producers’ wells, treats and processes it so it can enter pipelines or be used as fuel, separates natural gas liquids (NGLs), and transports and stores gas, NGLs and some crude oil.

Its main pipeline systems move gas from producing regions to utilities, power generators, industrial users, municipalities, marketers and other customers. Transco transports gas from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf of America through southeastern and Atlantic seaboard states to the New York City metropolitan area. Northwest Pipeline (NWP) moves gas from the San Juan basin through the western United States toward the Canadian border.

Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 18 March 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2024 16.32m 44.82m 334.50
2023 17.55m 18.48m 206.02

2021 13.76m 32.33m 138.43

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
