Lucas Oil announced the promotion of Naomi Furgiuele to chief operating officer in a recent press release.

In her new role, Furgiuele will oversee key company operations, including manufacturing, customer service, information technology and supply chain management. Furgiuele assumes the role of COO effective immediately.

Before joining Lucas Oil, Furgiuele led innovation and growth at Ignite Venture Studio and co-founded Small World Brands, following a 16-year tenure at Johnson & Johnson where she drove major product strategies for brands like Neutrogena and Aveeno.

Furgiuele joined the team in early 2024 as senior product manager, bringing more than two decades of experience driving business growth and leading innovation. She was promoted to vice president of product development in late 2024 and to chief product officer less than a year later. Her qualifications and understanding across Lucas Oil’s different departments—marketing, sales, operations, and manufacturing—made her a top candidate for the COO role.

“Lucas Oil has more than 300 premium products on the market, and Naomi has been instrumental in holding each and every one of these to a high standard,” said Morgan Lucas, CEO of Lucas Oil. “She is a dynamic leader whose vision, expertise and commitment to excellence have helped strengthen our organization. We’re excited to see her thrive in this role and continue building on Lucas Oil’s legacy of industry-leading products and trusted performance.”

“It has been impressive to watch Naomi’s growth as a leader at Lucas Oil,” said Katie Lucas, president of Lucas Oil. “She brings a valuable combination of operational expertise and product development experience to the COO role. Naomi’s work ethic, trusted relationships across our teams and deep understanding of our business make her exceptionally well suited to lead in this position. We have the utmost confidence in her leadership and look forward to the impact she will have on Lucas Oil’s future.”
