Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Ken Cohen, who was the public face and voice for the largest energy producer in the U.S., plans to retire on Jan. 1, the company said Friday.

Mr. Cohen, who joined Exxon in 1977, had held his current post as vice president of public and government affairs, since 1999. He will turn 65 in January, the company's mandatory retirement age.

Mr. Cohen made the company's case on such matters as the environment and domestic oil exports. He also runs the company's ExxonMobil Perspectives blog.

Suzanne McCarron, general manager for public and government affairs and president of Exxon's philanthropic arm ExxonMobil Foundation, is expected to succeed him, the company said. Ms. McCarron joined Mobil Canada as public affairs manager in 1998.
