“Lance has done a fantastic job serving as Halliburton CFO and has played an instrumental role in our company’s success and financial growth,” Halliburton chairman, president and CEO Jeff Miller commented in the press release. “It’s now time to expand his leadership development and provide him with an opportunity to strengthen his operational experience by leading our MENA region and working directly with our customers.”

Effective May 2, Loeffler, executive vice president and CFO, will assume the role of senior vice president of Halliburton’s MENA region. In conjunction, Halliburton Executive Vice President, Global Business Lines, and Chief HSE Officer Eric Carre will assume the role of CFO.

“Despite the transition in leadership, our financial strategy remains unchanged," Miller said. "Eric provides continuity as we execute on our five strategic priorities in order to deliver industry-leading returns and strong free cash flow for our shareholders.”
