Wood Group Kenny appoints operations V.P. in Houston
HOUSTON -- Matt Kirk has joined Wood Group Kenny as V.P. of operations, bolstering the regional leadership team in the Americas.
With 17 years of experience in the oil and gas sector, Kirk joins Wood Group Kenny from Xodus Subsea where he was managing director. Kirk moved from the UK to Houston in 2010 to set up Xodus Group’s operations in the U.S., and he subsequently spent four years as Americas regional director for the company.
Kirk, a chartered subsea engineer with the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, will focus on broadening the Wood Group Kenny client base in the Americas while continuing to support existing clients to deliver operational efficiency.
“We are committed to working collaboratively with our clients to provide solutions to the challenges they face and Matt brings a wealth of global experience to the table, especially his track record of working with independent operators in the Gulf of Mexico,” Bob MacDonald, CEO of Wood Group Kenny, said. “Wood Group Kenny has an emphasis on service line expansion, and Matt’s role will be pivotal in developing the overall capabilities of the team in the U.S.”
