MaxPetroleum CFO given board berth

Michael Young cements his place at Russian oil producer as part of management overhaul which has seen the chief exec ousted

Written by David Jetuah

The CFO of MaxPetroleum has been given a board position after seeing the oil producer through a lengthy period of upheaval.

Michael Young was at the helm last year when PwC carried out a probe into undisclosed share options given to executives. Senior management figures including ex-CEO Steve Kapelle were ousted in the wake of the investigation.

He was appointed as CFO on 1 September 2006, but this was not a board position, the company said previously.

The AIM-quoted company said: Max Petroleum announced today plans to restructure its board of directors. In conjunction with Mark Johnson joining the company as a director and CEO, Jim Jeffs will move to non-executive chairman of the board, Lee Kraus and Bob Holland will resume their roles as non-executive directors, and Michael Young will join the board as FD.'
