Mike Jardon is to take over as CEO of UK-based Expro succeeding Charles Woodburn, who is leaving the company in April to join defense firm BAE Systems.
Jardon joined Expro in 2011 as COO, after holding senior roles within Schlumberger’s wireline, completions, well testing and subsea businesses, and at Vallourec & Mannesmann, where he led the organization’s commercial activities across North America.
"Over the past five years, Jardon has provided a relentless focus on operational excellence, alongside the company’s industry-leading safety performance," says Expro. Expro chairman, Sir George Buckley, said: “Mike has been instrumental in delivering the exceptional results we have seen from Expro in recent years. His experience, leadership skills and passion for the business will ensure a seamless transition for the company. The Board and Executive Management Team are delighted to see him succeed as CEO, as we focus on driving forward the business safely and efficiently.
“I would also like to thank Charles for his significant contribution and unwavering commitment to the business. His talent, honesty and integrity will be missed by everyone in Expro, and we wish him all the very best in his new role.”
