Offshore drilling contractor Dolphin Drilling has appointed new chief executive officer (CEO) following the resignation of Jon Oliver Bryce.
Dolphin Drilling’s board of directors has appointed Michael Boyd, currently the company’s Chief Commercial Officer, as the new CEO, effective immediately.
Boyd brings extensive industry experience and has been central to shaping Dolphin Drilling’s commercial strategy in recent years. As CEO, he will drive a renewed focus on operational performance, cost discipline, contract backlog, and targeted capital allocation.
