Expro elects ex-Tidewater man as new chief financial officer

Oilfield services company Expro has appointed a new chief financial officer (CFO) of the company.

Expro said on Tuesday that it named Quinn Fanning as its new CFO. Based in Houston, Fanning will succeed Michael Bentham, who will transition to the role of vice president of finance and principal accounting officer.

In his most recent position as executive vice president and CFO of Tidewater, Fanning played a leadership role in completing Tidewater’s financial restructuring and its business combination with GulfMark Offshore.

Before joining Tidewater, he was the managing director with Citigroup Global Markets where he was responsible for senior client coverage and executing a wide variety of M&A, strategic advisory, and capital markets transactions across all sectors of the global energy complex.

Regarding the appointments, Expro CEO Mike Jardon said: “Quinn will play a key role in the future of the company, helping to lead Expro’s efforts to grow its business, improve financial performance, and expand the capital base.

“Our intention has always been to have both roles and with Michael’s expertise in international corporate and operational finance, he will focus on the integrity of the financial reporting.”
