Kosmos Energy (NYSE:KOS) has appointed a former executive of French energy giant Total to its board.
Yves-Louis Darricarrère retired earlier this year from Total after a distinguished thirty-seven year career in which he served most recently as executive vice president of Total SA, and president of Total Upstream, with responsibility for all group upstream activities in more than forty countries on five continents.
“With our growing production in Ghana, two major discoveries offshore Mauritania in 2015, and a strong exploration portfolio, Kosmos has a bright future. Given his extensive experience managing major exploration and production projects while with Total, I am confident that Yves-Louis will bring deep industry knowledge and fresh perspective to our board,” said Andrew Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer of Kosmos.
