Oilfield services firm Hunting plans to appoint a former top boss at Schlumberger to its board.
Plans have been submitted for shareholder approval for Paula Harris, formerly the director of global stewardship at the oilfield giant, to join as a non-executive director.
Ms Harris spent more than 33 years with Schlumberger before retiring in 2020. Hunting shareholders will vote during the annual general meeting on April 20.
Educated as a petroleum engineer at Texas A&M, Ms Harris worked in offshore field operations before progressing into leadership roles in training, sales and ultimately environmental-social sustainability.
Ms Harris is a US citizen and is also senior vice president of community affairs for the Houston Astros.
London and Houston-headquartered Hunting manufactures high-end downhole metal tools and components to extract oil and gas across a well’s lifecycle.
