JDR appointed David Currie as chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors, effective January 12, 2015.
Currie brings to the position nearly 30 years’ experience in the global offshore energy industry, most recently the U.K. regional president for Aker Solutions. Previous to that, he spent the bulk of his career at FMC Technologies where he held a range of senior positions, the last of which was director of global subsea operations.
Currie will focus on developing JDR’s commercial opportunities, creating new opportunities for the company’s industry-leading products and services; from subsea production umbilicals, IWOCS and power cables to aftermarket and installation services. Currie will be based in the U.K., travelling frequently between JDR’s global oil and gas markets.
