Seacor also expects to announce the appointment of a new principal accounting officer over the coming weeks. This individual is expected to work closely with Llorca in overseeing the company’s finance operations.

John Gellert, CEO of Seacor, said: “On behalf of the entire organization, I thank Matt for the significant time and effort he expended as the company transitioned following its spin-off from Seacor Holdings, and for his many years of service with the Seacor organization. We appreciate the leadership and dedication he exhibited during this time and wish him every success in the future.
