Jan 6 (Reuters) -
U.S. oil and gas company Talos Energy TALO.N said on
Monday its interim chief executive officer, Joseph Mills, has
stepped down, effective immediately.
Mills was appointed after CEO Tim Duncan stepped down on
Aug. 29 last year after serving more than 12 years as the firm's
top boss.
Houston, Texas-based Talos said it has identified a
candidate to serve as the company's CEO and is in the final
stages of the selection process.
The company expects the candidate to join by the end of
the current quarter.
Talos added that the departure of Mills, who also
stepped down as the interim president, is unrelated to any
operational issues or accounting matters.
