“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our deep gratitude to Keith for his leadership and 20 years of invaluable service to TEAM,” commented Michael J. Caliel, Chairman of the TEAM Board of Directors. “Keith successfully guided TEAM through a critical period which included post-COVID challenges, and drove meaningful improvements in operations, safety and financial performance, while better positioning TEAM for long-term success. With the Company now on stable footing and the recent Stellex strategic investment positioning it for the next phase of growth, this is an appropriate time for a leadership transition. As part of our succession planning, the Board is confident that Gary will continue to build on Keith’s successes and our current strategic vision for TEAM.

I look forward to working closely with the Board, the management team and TEAM’s talented employees to strategically grow the business and achieve industry leading margins that will in turn unlock substantial value for our shareholders.”
