We received from William M. Sheriff , Executive Chairman of enCore Energy Corp, and we are glad publish the following press release:
“enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the “Company” or “enCore”), America’s Clean Energy Company™, announced today that Mr. Robert Willette, who has been serving as Acting Chief Executive Officer, has now been formally appointed as Chief Executive Officer.
William M. Sheriff, Executive Chairman, stated: “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am extremely pleased to announce the promotion of Robert Willette to the permanent position of Chief Executive Officer of enCore Energy. After an extensive search process led by the Search Committee and a prominent U.S. executive search firm, we conducted multiple interviews with a large number of candidates. The Committee and the Board of Directors unanimously selected Robert as the top candidate. Although a select few highly qualified candidates made it to the final round, it became clear that Robert’s performance as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (“A/CEO”) over the past 6 months is without a doubt his best qualification. In addition to Robert’s previous role as Chief Legal Officer at enCore, and extensive background in the oil and gas industry, his “in the trenches” performance as A/CEO highlighted his exceptional leadership skills and ability to successfully manage challenges to the benefit of our shareholders. I personally cannot think of anyone I would rather work closely with as we continue to move forward. Finding a leader that performs well under ideal circumstances is one thing but finding a battle tested and proven leader is a true rarity, and we are pleased to have such an individual leading us through the coming years of aggressive growth.”
