EnLink Midstream Welcomes New Chief Financial Officer

 

DALLAS, July 13, 2020 — EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) (EnLink) announced today the appointment of Pablo G. Mercado as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and a member of EnLink’s Executive Leadership Team, effective immediately.

 

“I’m excited to welcome Pablo to EnLink during this important time in our industry’s and company’s history,” Chairman and CEO Barry Davis said. “Pablo has extensive experience in financial and business strategy and operational excellence. His reputation as a strategic leader who proactively addresses business challenges to create value is exactly what we need to achieve our execution plan priorities. He brings a fresh perspective to EnLink, and together, with the rest of our leadership team, we will work to advance our financial strategy and position EnLink to excel through and on the other side of this downturn.

 

“I am very proud of how our team continues to navigate successfully through the current environment, delivering a strong second quarter. Our 2020 full-year results are also solidly on track with our previously released guidance. The team has done an outstanding job operating and controlling costs during this period of high volatility, and Pablo will add incremental energy and strength to our team going forward.”

 

Mercado has over 20 years of experience in finance and corporate development in the energy industry. Most recently, he was CFO for Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., where he helped lead the company’s initial public offering, executed many strategic acquisitions, and drove material operational and cost improvements during cyclical downturns. Prior to that, Mercado was an investment banker with the Oil and Gas Group of Credit Suisse and previously at UBS Investment Bank and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

 

Mercado holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Southern Methodist University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He currently serves on the Board of Directors as a member of the Audit and Governance Committees of Comfort Systems USA, Inc.

 

“I would like to thank Eric D. Batchelder for his service as EnLink’s CFO since January 2018 and wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits,” Davis said.
