The Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board has a new boss.
The governments of Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada announced on Thursday that they have agreed on the appointment of Scott Tessier as the C-NLOPB's new chair and CEO.
Tessier most recently worked for Chevron, but he is also a former chief of staff to Loyola Hearn, a former provincial and federal politician.
Ed Williams, the brother of former N.L. premier Danny Williams, has been appointed as vice-chair of the offshore regulatory agency.
