Senior Management Changes

Effective January 31, 2013, Michael Kelly has resigned from Trican to pursue other opportunities. Michael joined Trican in 1997 as the CFO and remained in that position until March 2009. He then became the Senior Vice President of Business Development and in June 2012 transferred to Russia as Senior Vice President, Russia and the Middle East. In January 2012, Michael was appointed our Senior Vice President, EAME & CIS, where he managed our operations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Algeria and the Middle East. Michael had a large influence on the direction of Trican and was part of the corporate executive group that saw the company grow from a Canadian operation with a few hundred employees to one with close to 6,000 employees worldwide in nine operating countries. We wish Michael the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his many years of service to Trican.

We are pleased to announce that David Jones, Vice President of Business Development, will assume the duties of Michael Kelly and will become the new Vice President, EAME & CIS. David will continue to oversee our Business Development group until a successor has been named.
