Mr. Transier retired from Endeavour International Corporation in December 2015, an international oil and gas company he co-founded in 2004. Endeavour operated primarily in the U.K. sector of the North Sea. Endeavour was a successful exploration and development company that discovered and developed four new oil and gas fields, one of which is the fifth largest gas field ever discovered in the North Sea. The company was forced into a financial restructure following a natural disaster that destroyed a major production well in its final stage of completion. Mr. Transier led the company and its board of directors through a complex restructuring effort and thus began his career in restructuring.

Mr. Transier is a broad based executive with extensive management and board experience. His career began with KPMG, a Big Four international auditing and consulting firm. He was a partner and global energy industry leader with over twenty years of experience. He then served as Chief Financial Officer of Ocean Energy Corporation, a highly successful international oil and gas company that successfully merged into Devon Energy in 2003. In 2003 he co-founded Endeavour where he served as Chairman and CEO. Endeavour was a public company with its stock listed on the London and New York Stock Exchanges.

Mr. Transier has extensive restructuring experience involving complex international capital structures with both public and private companies. He has served key roles on board of directors for twenty-five years including non-executive chairman, lead director, audit and compensation committee’s chairman and has led or been involved in many special committees of independent directors.
