Energy Hunter Resources Inc. said April 5 that Deirdre M. Sanborn has been appointed as vice president of finance and business development.
Sanborn is a financial expert with 25 years of experience, including as executive director of investment banking and senior relationship manager at UBS Investment Bank, according to the Dallas-based company's press release.
Gary C. Evans, chairman and CEO of Energy Hunter, said Sanborn will play an "instrumental role" in identifying and evaluating potential acquisition opportunities in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale.
"While we have been very selective since forming the company last year, management is currently in active negotiations on various property acquisitions which are located in both the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale plays," Evans said in a statement. "With Deirdre's experience, she will be able to assist management in our capital raising efforts as we begin to complete the closing of these transactions. Her ability to build and form relationships with potential industry partners, established investment bankers and key industry participants will present new opportunities for Energy Hunter as we build out our new enterprise."
Sanborn also has served as the director of corporate lending and senior relationship manager at Fortis Bank and as a credit analyst in the capital markets department at Citicorp North America. She is a registered financial adviser with the American Securities Administration Association.
