Subsea7 announces CEO succession

Subsea7 announces CEO succession

Luxembourg - 3 March 2026 - Subsea7 today announced that John Evans will retire

from his position as CEO on the 30 June 2026 and will be succeeded from 1 July

2026 by Stuart Fitzgerald who is currently CEO of Seaway7, part of the Subsea7

Group. The Board will propose that John is appointed as a Director of the

Company at the Annual General Meeting on 12 May 2026.

John has worked for Subsea7 and its predecessor companies for 40 years. He was

COO of Subsea7 for 14 years and has been CEO of Subsea7 since 2020.

Stuart has been CEO of Seaway7 since 2022. He joined Subsea7 in 1998 and has

held a number of senior management positions including EVP Commercial and EVP

Strategy and Alliances.

Stuart is also proposed as the CEO of Subsea7 within the future Saipem7 upon

completion of the proposed merger with Saipem.

Kristian Siem, Chairman said "The Board would like to thank John for his strong

leadership and valuable contribution to the Company as CEO - he has shown true

commitment and passion for the business over the last 40 years. Stuart has made

significant contributions over the course of his career with Subsea7 in both

operational and strategic roles, and, in recent years, he has led the turnaround

of the Seaway7 business. Stuart has the full support of the Board of Subsea7 as

he continues his journey in this new role. I am confident that, under his

leadership, Subsea7 will continue to thrive, both in the near term and as we

navigate the merger with Saipem".
