HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache
Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) announced today the appointment of
Gary T. Clark to the role of vice
president of Investor Relations. Clark joins Apache from
Chesapeake Energy Corporation, where he was the vice president of
investor relations and research.
"In the second quarter of this year, we initiated a search to
identify the investor relations officer in our industry best
positioned to take Apache's interaction with our equity
stakeholders to a new level," said Alfonso
Leon, executive vice president and chief financial officer
at Apache. "We consulted broadly to incorporate the input and
advice of many of our shareholders, sell-side analysts and other
stakeholders. Gary truly stood out from the playing field as a
great fit to move Apache forward in this key corporate
function."
Prior to joining Chesapeake in
2012, Clark accumulated 18 years of experience on both
the buy-side and the sell-side oil and gas equity markets. His
buy-side experience includes serving as senior securities analyst
with the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio and co-portfolio manager with Dynamis
Advisors, LLC. On the sell-side, his experience
includes serving as senior exploration and production (E&P)
coverage research analyst with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company,
Inc., where he was selected by the Wall Street Journal's Best on
the Street ranking as one of the nine "home-run hitters" across all
sectors and firms.
Clark's new role at Apache brings his career full circle, as he
started his career in Apache's Treasury Department in the early
1990s. He will report to Alfonso Leon, Apache's CFO, beginning
Aug. 26. Clark holds a CFA
designation and is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in
business
administration/finance.
