“We are excited to have Chris join Halliburton. He complements
our strong returns-focused culture, and we believe his impressive
reputation for execution and achieving results makes him the right
choice to lead our financial strategy,” said Jeff Miller, president
and CEO of Halliburton. “His skillset fits well with the strength
of our existing Finance organization and his broad range of
capabilities will complement our experienced management team as we
continue to deliver industry leading returns to our
shareholders.”
“I want to thank Halliburton General Counsel Robb Voyles for
leading both our law department and finance team as interim CFO
over the past four months,” added Miller. “Taking on these dual
roles was no easy task. His relentless efforts and dedication
provided a seamless transition for which we are grateful.”
