SBM Offshore announces that Philippe Barril has decided to step down on August 31, 2022 from his role as Chief Transition Officer (CTO) further to his appointment as CEO of Heerema Marine Contractors on September 1, 2022.

Philippe was appointed member of the Management Board and Chief Operating Officer in 2015, becoming CTO in April 2022 with responsibility for Human Resources, Legal & Compliance, Health, Safety, Security and Environment and some other corporate functions.

Following Philippe’s departure, it has been decided to simplify the structure of the Management Board. The CTO portfolio will therefore be allocated among the remaining three Management Board members with the aim of ensuring continued focus on SBM Offshore’s advancement as an energy transition company.

Bruno Chabas, CEO, said: “I would like to thank Philippe for his partnership and significant contribution to the Company over the past seven years. He has played a key role in the delivery of our strategy and our performance as a full lifecycle energy transition company, overseeing the realization of the Fast4Ward^® program and the substantial increase in our order book that this has enabled. Further, I would like to acknowledge the role Philippe has played in enhancing the focus on safety and health management and the continuation of our outstanding operating performance of our fleet. He is a great colleague and team player. We wish him every success in his new role.”

Philippe Barril, CTO, said: “The last seven years have been an amazing experience and I would like to thank all my colleagues at SBM Offshore for their commitment, resilience and delivery of our group vision. A particular note for my Management Board colleagues whether past or present for their remarkable team spirit. I look forward to joining Heerema Marine Contractors, a leader of the offshore industry and to contribute with its teams to its unique positioning within the energy transition space.”
