Chip Rimer, Chord’s current executive vice president and COO will retire on Jan. 12. Henke's 30 years of upstream oil and gas experience includes leadership positions at Gary Permian and Encana Group, the company said.
Chord also appointed Susan Cunningham as independent chair of the company’s board, effective Jan. 1.
