Providence Resources chief executive officer Tony O’Reilly has stepped down from his position and resigned from the board with immediate effect to pursue outside opportunities, the Irish-based energy company announced.
The company's board has initiated a process to identify and recruit a new CEO, Providence said.
Pat Plunkett, Chairman will assume executive functions on a temporary basis, and O’Reilly has agreed to work with the board until the end of January 2020 to ensure an orderly transfer of his responsibilities.
