Gulf Keystone appoints Maersk executive as CEO

Posted by June 1, 2015

Iraqi Kurdistan-focused oil producer Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GFKSY) has appointed a former Maersk Oil executive Jon Ferrier as its new chief executive, replacing John Gerstenlauer.

"We are confident that a combination of his international operational expertise and strategic track record, will serve the Company well," Andrew Simon, interim non-executive chairman of Gulf Keystone, said in a statement.

Ferrier joins the company less than a year after Gerstenlauer was appointed chief executive.
