Misty Sexton, Founder

Standard Petroleum Logistics was founded by Misty Sexton, a fuel industry professional with nearly two decades of experience in the downstream petroleum sector. This fall marks 20 years of working within the industry. Misty launched SPL to provide fuel services grounded in operational understanding, clear communication, and practical problem-solving.

Misty holds a master’s degree in business from the College of William & Mary, complementing her hands-on industry experience with a strong analytical and organizational foundation.

Experience That Shapes the Business

Misty’s background spans fuel sales, logistics coordination, tank systems, regulatory environments, and procurement-facing support. That experience directly informs how Standard Petroleum Logistics operates today — with an emphasis on reliability, compliance awareness, and solutions that work in real operating environments.

Fuel systems are interconnected by nature. SPL approaches them with that reality in mind, coordinating supply, storage, quality, and logistics in ways that support long-term performance and reduce risk.

Built as a Team, Not a Solo Operation

While SPL was designed and founded by Misty, the company’s work is not done in isolation. A trusted internal team and long-standing vendor partners are critical to SPL’s ability to deliver consistent, reliable service across multiple states and operating environments.

This network of experienced professionals allows SPL to respond effectively, scale responsibly, and support clients with the depth and continuity expected of an established fuel services firm — not a single-person operation.

Leadership Focused on Reliability and Execution

As a woman-owned small business, Standard Petroleum Logistics reflects hands-on leadership paired with real operational capacity. Misty leads SPL with a focus on:

  • Clear, direct communication
  • Accountability across suppliers and partners
  • Practical execution over appearances
  • Long-term relationships built on trust and performance

This leadership approach shapes how SPL works with clients, vendors, and public-sector partners alike.
