Wood Group PSN has today appointed two new presidents to lead its Americas business.
Mitch Fralick and John Glithero will act as co-presidents for the region, replacing the retiring Derek Blackwood.
The two will be responsible for Wood Group PSN’s regional strategy, operations and functional delivery, as well as all acquisitions and business integration. They will report directly to the firm’s chief executive Robin Watson.
Wood Group PSN employs more than 9,000 people in its Americas business.
The two new presidents – both natives of Texas – have been promoted from co-presidency posts in the business.
“We have almost doubled the size of our business in the Americas region in the last two years,” said Wood Group PSN chief executive Robin Watson.
“The business here is now the largest for WGPSN globally and that growth is set to continue under Mitch and John’s leadership. Both men have played key roles in growing the business and successfully acquiring three companies in the US in the last two years.”
Mitch Fralick joined Wood Group in 2008 when the company bought Producers Assistance Corporation – a company he founded and led as president.
John Glithero joined Wood Group from Baker Energy in 2002 as executive vice president for the US offshore operations and maintenance business.
