Izett, a senior lawyer with over 17 years of North American and International experience in public oil and gas, manufacturing, and mining sectors. He brings extensive experience in complex project development, joint ventures, and international oil and gas production. As Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Mr. Izett, will lead Enerflex’s global legal and governance affairs and contribute to enterprise risk management.
