Teekay Announces Senior Management Change
02 November 2022 - 09:15PM
Teekay Corporation (Teekay or the Company) (NYSE:TK)
today announced Vince Lok’s retirement as Teekay’s Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer effective January 1,
2023, after nearly 30 years with the Company, including the past 16
years as Teekay’s Group CFO.
Upon Mr. Lok’s retirement, Mr. Brody Speers,
Vice President, Finance & Treasurer, will be assuming Mr. Lok’s
responsibilities, along with continuing to oversee Teekay’s
Finance, Accounting and Tax teams. Mr. Lok has agreed to stay on as
an advisor through the end of 2023 to help ensure a smooth
transition as well as support the Company’s strategic
initiatives.
Kenneth Hvid, Teekay’s President and Chief
Executive Officer said, “Over the past 30 years, Vince has played
an instrumental role in the evolution of the Teekay Group.
Personally, it has been a real privilege to have worked with Vince
for more than two decades. He has been a great CFO, colleague, and
friend whose professionalism and care for Teekay, and all our
stakeholders, has been a beacon through both our growth and our
simplification years. We have focused on talent management and
succession planning over many years, and I am confident that Brody
Speers is the natural choice for the role and will ensure that we
have a seamless transfer of responsibilities.”
Mr. Hvid added, “Although we will all miss
Vince’s insights and leadership, I respect his priorities and we
are pleased that Vince will be available as an advisor as we look
for growth opportunities and continue to create shareholder value
from our strong position.”
Mr. Lok commented, “With Teekay now in a solid
financial position and well-positioned to benefit from the strong
tanker market fundamentals, now feels like the logical time to
retire as the Company embarks on the next phase of its strategy.”
Mr. Lok added, “It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to be
part of Teekay’s journey and to have had the opportunity to work
with a world-class team over my 30 years with the Company. I look
forward to staying involved with Teekay as an advisor as well as
spending more time with my family and other priorities.”
