European-focused upstream firm Sound Oil has appointed former investment banker Stuart Joyner as its new chief financial officer.
The 41-year-old, who takes up the post on July 22, joins the company from Investec Bank, where he had been head of oil and gas for the last three years.
The move comes after Sound reported a ‘sufficiently large’ gas find at its Nervesa permit in the Italian Alps
“His relationships with key institutions, debt funding experience, industry knowledge and commercial finance skills strengthen the executive team as we move into an exciting new phase of growth,” said Sound chief executive James Parson.
“This is the first of a series of planned actions following successful logging at Nervesa.”
