Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP) has promoted Jesse Parrish to senior vice president and chief commercial officer of ARLP’s subsidiary, Alliance Coal. In Parrish’s expanded role, he will oversee Alliance Coal’s commercial strategy including oversight of the sales, marketing, and logistics functions as well as its government relation functions.

“Jesse’s expanded role is a natural evolution of our vision for him as he assumes more of my day-to-day responsibilities allowing me more time to focus on strategic growth opportunities for ARLP,” said Joseph Craft III, president and chief executive officer of Alliance Coal and ARLP.

“President Trump has declared his administration will do whatever it takes to ensure that the United States can build and maintain the largest, most powerful and most advanced AI infrastructure anywhere on the planet. To achieve global AI dominance, America has to maintain, extend, and expand the current electric generating assets and invest significantly in new generation infrastructure. ARLP’s aim is to pursue opportunities in the growing power infrastructure sector and preserve our nation’s coal fleet,” added Craft.

Jesse Parrish joined Alliance Coal in April 2025 as senior vice president of Operations and previously spent more than a decade in different senior capacities in the eastern U.S. coal industry. Timothy Whelan’s role as senior vice president of sales and marketing, will remain unchanged, and he and his team remain the primary contact for Alliance Coal’s customers and other commercial partners.

Alliance Resource Partners is a diversified energy company that is currently the second largest coal producer in the eastern United States, supplying reliable, affordable energy domestically and internationally to major utilities, metallurgical and industrial users. ARLP also generates operating and royalty income from mineral interests it owns in strategic coal and oil & gas producing regions in the United States. In addition, ARLP is positioning itself as a reliable energy partner for the future by pursuing opportunities that support the growth and development of energy and related infrastructure.
