Kosmos Energy names retired Total S.A. exec to board of directors

Yves-Louis Darricarrère has been appointed to Kosmos Energy's board of directors, Kosmos said recently.

Kosmos Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with major developments in progress offshore Ghana and Mauritania.

“We are delighted to have Yves-Louis join our board of directors at this important time in the company’s history," Kosmos Chairman and CEO Andrew Inglis said. "With our growing production in Ghana, two major discoveries offshore Mauritania in 2015 and a strong exploration portfolio, Kosmos has a bright future. Given his extensive experience managing major exploration and production projects while with Total, I am confident that Yves-Louis will bring deep industry knowledge and fresh perspective to our board.”

After 37 years with Total S.A., Darricarrère retired earlier this year. Darricarrere graduated from college in Paris and has a master's degree in economic science. Darricarrere currently serves as a senior adviser at Lazard, a global financial advisory asset management company.
