Boots, who, as previously announced, mutually agreed with the company to step down from his position to pursue other opportunities.
Harris has more than 30 years of experience in the energy industry in a variety of financial leadership, strategic and business planning roles. He most recently served as executive vice president, drilling and subsea for Forum Energy Technologies Inc., having previously served as Forum’s CFO for 12 years.
