Ante5 Names Kenneth T. DeCubellis as New CEO
Minnetonka, Minn., November 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Ante5, Inc. (OTCBB:ANFC) today announced that its board of directors has named Kenneth T. DeCubellis to serve as the company’s chief executive officer.
Mr. DeCubellis brings over 15 years of executive leadership experience in high-growth energy companies. A ten-year executive with Exxon Mobil Corp, Mr. DeCubellis most recently served as President, CEO and Chairman at ALTRA, Inc., a venture backed biofuels company founded in 2005. Mr. DeCubellis also previously served as chairman of KD Global Energy Belize, Ltd, a global company providing technical and exploration services to large petroleum lease holders in Belize.
“We are thrilled to have someone of Ken’s caliber and experience to lead Ante5 through its next phase of growth,” said Bradley Berman, who stepped down as the Chief Executive Officer of the company but will remain Ante5’s Chairman of the Board. “During our first year in the oil and gas business, we significantly increased our acreage position and oil production is off to a strong start. It became clear to me, however, that it was in the company’s best interest to bring in a seasoned energy executive to continue Ante5’s current growth trajectory. Mr. DeCubellis skill set and experience are exactly what Ante5 needs.”
“I am excited to join the Ante5 team at such an early phase in its history,” said Mr. DeCubellis. “Although the company already has a solid acreage portfolio and a growing stable of producing wells, there is still much to do. I look forward to running a disciplined metrics-driven operation, and driving revenue and profit growth.”
Mr. DeCubellis earned an MBA at Northwestern’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
