HOUSTON, May 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frank’s International N.V. (NYSE: FI) (the “Company” or “Frank’s”) today announced that Melissa Cougle has been named Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective tomorrow. She succeeds Kyle McClure, who has decided to leave the Company to pursue other opportunities.

She previously worked 13 years for Ensco plc (ESV), a global offshore drilling contractor, where she held multiple senior positions in treasury, capital management, finance and administration, corporate accounting, internal audit, management reporting and financial systems. Ms. Cougle began her career in the audit and consulting practices of Arthur Andersen LLP which became Protiviti. She is a certified public accountant and holds a bachelor of science degree in accounting from Louisiana State University.

“We are excited to have Melissa join the Company given her extensive public company, finance and industry leadership experience. I look forward to working closely with Melissa and the rest of the Frank’s senior management team as we capitalize on the numerous opportunities identified to drive growth in our business in 2019 and beyond,” said Michael Kearney, Frank’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Kearney continued, “We wish Kyle well and thank him for his many contributions over the past four years as we navigated some of the most challenging conditions seen in our industry in many years.
