Chairman and CEO Chris Wright noted that Vazquez’s expertise will be central to the company’s next phase of growth: “His deep technical knowledge, commitment to responsible exploration, and proven ability to manage complex exploration programs will play a critical role in advancing our portfolio and driving long-term value for our shareholders."
