Talos Energy says new CEO to start by Q1 2025
Joseph A. Mills has resigned as Talos Energy's interim president and CEO and as a member of the company's board to pursue other opportunities, effective today, according to a company news release.
Tim Duncan stepped down from his role as the former president and CEO at the end of August 2024, which is when Mills began serving as interim president and CEO until a successor was put in place.
The company says it has identified a finalist candidate to serve as the permanent CEO and is in the final stages of the process with this candidate. This person is expected to join the company by the end of first-quarter 2025.
Talos says Mills' departure is unrelated to any operational issues or accounting matters.
In first-half 2024, Talos Energy expanded its leadership team in connection with its acquisition of QuarterNorth Energy Inc., an E&P independent focused on the US Gulf of Mexico, in early March 2024.
