Connacher strengthened its Executive Team with the appointment of J.P. Buyze as Chief Financial Officer in December 2020. Mr. Buyze was the CFO at an ARC-backed private oil producer for the past two years and prior to that was CFO of a natural gas focused private oil and gas producer. Before these two executive roles in the producing sector, Mr. Buyze spent 20 years as an investment banker in Calgary, Toronto and New York primarily focused on the energy sector. Mr. Buyze joins an experienced executive team with significant history with Connacher. Merle Johnson has been with the Company for 14 years and is the longest serving executive in the Company's history, having been appointed CEO in 2015. He successfully led the Company through a very challenging period from when it entered CCAA in 2016 through to the completion of its restructuring and exit from CCAA in September 2019; at which point Connacher became a private company. Mr. Johnson has 24 years of experience with various companies in the Canadian energy sectors focused on both conventional and thermal oil production.
