With 36 years of experience in public accounting, Byers recently retired as a partner from Ernst & Young LLP (EY), bringing to the board experience in multiple leadership roles during her tenure there. She served as the company's Americas industry leader from 2018 to 2022, where she was responsible for overseeing the growth strategy across primary markets.
Additionally, she served as EY's Houston office managing partner and U.S. energy leader, as well as managing partner of the company's Southwest Region Strategy and Transactions business unit, where she lead all phases of energy investment across the industry.
Prior to her role at EY, Byers earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Baylor University.
“Deborah’s extensive energy industry knowledge will be invaluable to the organization as we strive to grow the business globally," Excelerate board chairman Don Millican said in the release. "This addition also demonstrates our commitment to strengthening and diversifying our corporate governance. We thank her for accepting this responsibility to lead and provide independent management oversight.”
