Talos Energy's Management Update: New Interim CFO
In a recent announcement, Talos Energy Inc. revealed a significant management update, appointing Gregory M. Babcock as the Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective June 28, 2025. This change comes after Sergio L. Maiworm Jr., the previous Executive Vice President and CFO, opted to explore a new opportunity after serving in his role for several years.
Background on Gregory M. Babcock
Gregory Babcock is not new to Talos; he has been with the company since 2014 and has held various key accounting and finance positions, showcasing his extensive experience within the energy sector. His contributions as Chief Accounting Officer since August 2019 have positioned him to seamlessly take over the role of Interim CFO. As he transitions into this new role, Babcock will report directly to the company's CEO, Paul Goodfellow.
“I am excited to continue working closely with Greg,” said Goodfellow. “Greg has demonstrated a strong financial acumen during his tenure at Talos, and I believe he is well-equipped to lead our financial team during this transitional period.”
Departure of Sergio L. Maiworm Jr.
Maiworm's decision to step down has been met with appreciation from the executive team, acknowledging his leadership and integrity throughout his service at Talos. He will still be available to assist in the transition until June 27, 2025. The company expressed their gratitude for Maiworm's contributions, wishing him continued success in his future endeavors.
A Shining Future Ahead
Talos asserts that this leadership transition will not affect the company’s financial reporting or operational integrity. In fact, they have reaffirmed their production guidance for Q2 2025 and are committed to maintaining their financial forecast for the entire year.
As the company embarks on a search for a permanent CFO, the focus remains on stability and maintaining a trajectory of operational success. Babcock's familiarity with the company’s financial landscape is expected to provide a foundation for continuity that clients and investors will appreciate.
