Talisman Energy Inc. (TSX:TLM) (NYSE:TLM) has announced the
appointment of Paul R. Smith as Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
effective May 20, 2013. Paul is currently Executive Vice-President,
North America, within Talisman.
Scott Thomson, Talisman's current CFO, is leaving the company to
become President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Finning
International, the world's largest Caterpillar equipment dealer
headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"I am very pleased that Paul will fit into this role seamlessly,
given his knowledge of the company, his operational and financial
skills, and international and North American experience," said Hal
Kvisle, President and CEO. "Paul has a tremendous track record,
fully understands the risks and opportunities of the business, and
is a strategic thinker. He played a key role in transforming
Talisman's North American operations, leaving a well-positioned
business that will continue to be a vital part of Talisman's
future.
"Importantly, he will provide continuity in our journey to
create a more value-driven proposition for shareholders. Paul will
play a key role in implementing our four strategic priorities,
including unlocking the NAV of our portfolio and maintaining a
strong balance sheet, as part of living within our means."
Paul Smith joined Talisman in 2009 and soon after was appointed
Executive Vice-President, North America. In this role, Paul led the
business transformation away from a focus on deep sour gas, to a
strong position in four of the leading unconventional plays in
North America. This included the sale of over $5 billion of assets,
as well as strategic joint venture agreements in the Montney and
the Eagle Ford.
Paul started his career with British Petroleum (BP) and held
senior roles in various international locations, including
Vice-President and Director, Upstream Projects; CFO for BP's
Trinidad operations; and Upstream Vice-President for TNK-BP, West
Siberia. He received an honours degree in Economics and Business
from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. A successor for Paul will
be announced at a later date.
Commenting on Scott Thomson, Hal Kvisle said, "While we are sad
to see him leave, I am personally very pleased for Scott. This is a
great opportunity for him. Over the last five years, Scott has made
a substantial contribution to Talisman. He led several strategic
transactions, helped maintain a strong balance sheet, and built
excellent relationships with our bankers and institutional
investors."
