Transocean appointed Mark Mey as executive vice president and CFO effective 28 May 2015.
This move comes after the announcement of Esa Ikaheimonen stepping down as executive vice president and CFO effective immediately. Ikaheimonen has also resigned his company-appointed position as the chairman of the board of directors of Transocean Partners, a subsidiary of Transocean.
Mey most recently served as executive vice president and CFO of Atwood Oceanics. Including his almost five years at Atwood, he has over 28 years of experience in the energy and financial services industries in both the United States and South Africa. Prior to Atwood, Mey was senior vice president and CFO and a director of Scorpion Offshore. He also held positions of increasing responsibility during his 12 years with offshore driller Noble Corp. including vice president and treasurer.
Mey earned an advanced diploma in accounting and a bachelor of commerce degree from the University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. He is a chartered accountant and attended the Harvard Business School Executive Advanced Management Program.
As a result of Mey's transition, Atwood has appointed Mark W. Smith as chief financial officer on an interim basis. Smith has served as vice president, chief accounting officer and controller since May 2014 and in other finance roles since joining the company in February 2009. Including his service to the Atwood, Smith has over 20 years' experience in the financial, consulting and energy industries.
