HALLIBURTON NAMES CHRISTOPHER GAUT NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
Doug Foshee Promoted to Chief Operating Officer
HOUSTON, Texas - Dave Lesar, chairman, president and chief executive officer of
Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced today that C. Christopher Gaut, 46, has been
named the company's executive vice president and chief financial officer. His
employment begins with Halliburton March 3, 2003. Gaut, a 20-year energy finance
veteran, replaces Doug Foshee, 44, who has been promoted to Halliburton's chief
operating officer. Foshee joined Halliburton in August 2001 as executive vice
president and chief financial officer.
"Cris Gaut has an excellent reputation with the financial community, and I
am pleased that he is joining Halliburton's management team," said Lesar. "He
has a proven track record in corporate finance both as a financial advisor and
strategist. He understands the energy business and will help drive greater
shareholder value and continue to facilitate Halliburton's growth and
profitability."
"Doug Foshee's leadership as CFO has been invaluable during the past 18
months, and in his new role as chief operating officer, we will be able to
capitalize on his extensive oil and gas operating experience," said Lesar.
Prior to joining Halliburton, Gaut was one of three people sharing the role
of president and chief operating officer of ENSCO International, Incorporated, a
leading offshore drilling contractor. In addition to these responsibilities, he
served the company as chief financial officer, a position he held since 1988.
Gaut serves on the executive committee of the International Association of
Drilling Contractors and is a member of Financial Executives International. Gaut
received his bachelor of arts in engineering science from Dartmouth College and
his masters of business administration from the Wharton School of Business at
the University of Pennsylvania.
