Corbin J. Robertson, Jr. is the CEO and Chairman of GP Natural Resource Partners, L.P., a company he helped establish in 2002. With a degree from the University of Texas at Austin, he has deep roots in the energy sector, focusing on natural resource properties like coal and oil. Corbin has led multiple companies, including Western Pocahontas Properties and Quintana Minerals Corporation, making his mark in both private and public sectors. He's been recognized for his contributions to the business community, including an induction into the Texas Business Hall of Fame. What stands out is his approach to leadership; he’s not just about short-term profits but aligns executive compensation with long-term performance. His holdings reflect this approach, with significant investments translating into a net worth in the hundreds of millions, showing his belief in the company’s future. He also uniquely operates with a compensation structure that has historically avoided salaries, relying primarily on performance-based incentives. Corbin's family ties to the company run deep, as his son, Corbin J. Robertson III, is also involved with the firm.
