Talos Energy Inc. has announced that Tim Duncan has stepped down from his role as president and CEO, effective Aug. 29.
The company's board, in partnership with an executive search firm, has initiated a search for a successor. Joseph A. Mills, who has served on the company's board of directors since March, will serve as interim president and CEO until a successor is in place.
Mills' industry experience and knowledge spans more than 42 years in senior leadership positions and has served on the boards of both public and private companies in the oil and gas sector.
In addition, Mills serves as the CEO of Samson Resources II LLC, a position he has held since March 2017. Prior to joining Samson Resources, Mills served in various leadership roles with Eagle Rock Energy G&P LLC and Roan Resources Co. He also served in director and executive officer positions at El Paso Energy, Sonat Exploration, Black Stone Minerals and Montierra Minerals & Production LP.
Mills received a bachelor's degree in petroleum land management from the University of Texas and a master's degree in finance from the University of Houston.
In April, Talos expanded its leadership team in connection with its acquisition of QuarterNorth Energy Inc. Among several new appointments, Sergio Maiworm was promoted to executive vice president and will continue to serve as CFO.
