Flotek Industries Announces Appointment of H. Richard Walton as Chief Financial Officer, Upcoming Presentation at IPAA Florida Oil & Gas Symposium and Enercoms Oil & ServicesTM 11 Conference.
HOUSTON, January 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ Flotek Industries, Inc. (Flotek or the Company) today announced that Richard Walton has been appointed Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis.
Mr. Walton also replaces Johnna Kokenge, Floteks Chief Accounting Officer, who is leaving the Company to pursue other professional interests. Mr. Walton will assume Ms. Kokenges accounting officer duties.
We appreciate Johnnas service to Flotek and, while we will miss her expertise and energy, understand her desire to spend more time on other professional endeavors and personal interests, said John Chisholm, Floteks Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The last three years have been intense as Johnna has been instrumental in re-instilling a sense of accounting discipline and accuracy to Flotek and rebuilding our finance and accounting infrastructure which will allow Flotek to grow and prosper in the years ahead. All of Floteks stakeholders are indebted to Johnna for her hard work and dedication to the Flotek team. I personally am grateful for Johnnas leadership and talents that have clearly made a difference for the Flotek community.
Flotek and Ms. Kokenge have agreed to a severance and consulting arrangement that will provide her with certain consideration in exchange for transitional consulting services provided to the Company. The details of the agreement can be found in Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2013.
Mr. Waltons public accounting career spans over three decades including 20 years as an audit partner in the Houston office of KPMG. His experience includes financial statement audits and registration of securities with the SEC. Following his retirement from KPMG LLP, he has served as a financial consultant to public companies, including financial reporting consulting for Flotek since 2010.
Mr. Walton is a certified public accountant and is a member of the Texas Society of CPAs. He is a graduate of Westminster College with a degree in Economics and Business Administration. Following graduation he served as an officer in the U.S. Army. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Houston Hospice, Chairman of the Finance Committee at DePelchin Childrens Center and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Retina Research Foundation.
The Flotek team could not be more fortunate to have someone of Rich Waltons caliber to step into the role as our principal financial and accounting officer, added Chisholm. I have personally worked with Rich for nearly three years as an integral part of the team that helped stabilize Floteks financial and accounting platform. Richs credentials are impeccable, his experience unparalleled and his approach to accounting and financial management exceptional. Richs wealth of knowledge about both Floteks business and the application of GAAP accounting to public companies will serve Flotek incredibly well. Combined with Floteks other financial leadership, Rich is the right person at the right time to push Flotek to the next level. I am delighted to welcome him to Floteks leadership team.
