Husky Energy Inc. has named Jonathan McKenzie as chief financial officer, capping a months-long search to fill the job.
Mr. McKenzie last served as chief commercial officer for Irving Oil Ltd. and previously held a senior executive role at Suncor Energy Inc., Husky said in a statement late Thursday.
Husky has been without a full-time CFO since June, 2014, when Alister Cowan left to work at Suncor.
Husky in March began production at its $3.2-billion Sunrise oil sands project in Alberta with partner BP PLC. The first phase of the project is expected to ramp up to 60,000 barrels a day by year-end 2016.
Mr. McKenzie begins his new role effective April 27.
