Callon Petroleum Names Kevin Haggard as SVP/CFO

Kevin Haggard has been appointed senior vice president and chief financial officer of Callon Petroleum Company, effective May 17, 2021. Haggard brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across the energy and finance industries.

Most recently, he served as vice president and treasurer of Noble Energy. There, Haggard directed the company’s global corporate finance and treasury operations and maintained relationships with the company’s key capital providers.

“Kevin has a track record of taking strategic action, and building impactful teams and relationships across organizations,” said Joe Gatto, chief executive officer and president of Callon. “In speaking with him, it is also clear that Kevin shares Callon’s values and brings leadership skills that will help continue developing the Callon team and advancing our sustainability focus, all with the goal of delivering meaningful long-term value to our stakeholders.”

Haggard succeeds Jim Ulm, II, who previously announced his intentions to retire. Following his retirement later this month, Ulm will remain with the company in a consulting position for an interim period to ensure a smooth transition.

“I am excited to join Joe and the rest of the Callon team as the company continues to drive alignment with shareholders in the upstream sector by prioritizing debt reduction, free cash-flow generation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,” says Haggard.
