Under his guidance, PepsiCo acquired a transportation business in Iran and successfully turned around a $50 million Alaska pipeline project.

During this time, Oscar Wyatt, the founder of Coastal Corporation, retained Muller as Senior Vice President to lead JV development, asset liquidations and exit strategies across the globe. He successfully liquidated $3+ billion in nonperforming assets and was instrumental in transitioning resources and assets to support the El Paso/Coastal merger.
