What has Louis Castro done????14 Jan 2022 14:40
Froom April last year when TOMCO appointed Louis Castro as a Non-Executive Director.......
Mr Castro has over 30 years' experience in investment banking and in the oil and gas industry and was, at one time, Chief Finance Officer at Eland Oil and Gas Limited, a shallow water offshore Nigeria oil producer acquired by Seplat Petroleum Development Company plc for £382 million in cash in December 2019. Previously, he was Chief Executive of Northland Capital Partners in London and formerly Head of Corporate Finance at Matrix Corporate Capital.
He has chaired audit committees and remuneration and nomination committees at several public companies, where he has also advised on corporate governance. Mr Castro is currently Executive Chairman of Orosur Mining Inc., and Non-Executive Director of The Stanley Gibbons Group plc, Tekcapital plc and Predator Oil & Gas Holdings plc.
Mr Castro started his career qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with Coopers & Lybrand (now PwC), prior to working for SG Warburg & Co. (now part of UBS).
He graduated from the University of Birmingham with a BSc & B.Comm (Hons) in Production Engineering & Economics, before completing a post graduate course in Production Management & Methods at Cambridge University. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales and was formerly a London Stock Exchange AIM Qualified Executive.
Commenting, John Potter, CEO of TomCo, said:
"I would like to welcome Louis on behalf of the Board. Louis brings significant oil and gas industry experience, together with relevant corporate finance and governance expertise that will assist TomCo as we progress our plans and we look forward to working closely with him."
So what has this guy been doing? Surely he was brought in to help with the financing of the 1 or 2x 5000bopd plant(s)?
Who knows?
