Six One Commodities

President Harrison DeStefano leads the energy merchant, asset optimization, and asset investing platform. Head of Trading Chris Krieg oversees the natural gas, LNG, and power merchant trading teams, while Head of Assets Foster Smith manages the performance and optimization of the owned asset portfolio. Each reports into a leadership structure anchored by founder and CEO Ben Sutton.

Six One Commodities acquired Houston-based energy merchant Vega Energy Partners in 2021. The acquisition brought in several senior team members now in leadership roles at Six One, including Head of Trading Chris Krieg and Head of Business Development David Hamilton, both of whom previously served at Vega.

The firm operates a dedicated origination desk, led by Head of Origination Maureen Smith, that creates and executes physical and financial transactions to expand the footprint of the commodity trading desks. The origination team works alongside the business development function — overseen by David Hamilton — which pursues growth across natural gas, power, LNG, and related infrastructure.

Publicly available disclosures describe Six One Commodities as a proprietary energy merchant and direct asset investor; no regulatory filings or website materials indicate participation in external fund commitments or third-party LP structures. The firm's model relies on proprietary capital deployed directly into physical trading and infrastructure assets.

The firm is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, and characterizes its operations as global. Its natural gas marketing and storage operations concentrate on North America, with power and LNG capabilities extending internationally through the merchant platform.
