HOUSTON, April 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PDC Logic today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Warren Dyer as President and Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Mr. Dyer was also elected to the Board of Directors of PDC Logic.
Mr. Dyer is the former CEO of Ulterra Drilling Technologies, a company he helped grow into the largest independent polycrystalline diamond compact ("PDC") drill bit company globally, a distinction it continues to hold to this day.

"He embodies the values we covet, and we are confident he will build upon the winning, team-oriented culture we have worked hard to create over the years."
"Warren emerged as the best fit and most highly qualified candidate from a deep pool of interested and experienced bit executives evaluated for the role," said Tuan Tran, a partner at Intervale Capital, the company's private equity sponsor. "Warren brings an exceptional leadership reputation, a wealth of drill bits experience, and a shared vision for PDC Logic's strategic growth initiatives. Warren's track record as a manager, strong pulling power in the bit space, and proven ability to execute are exactly what PDC Logic needs as we enter our next chapter of transformative growth."
"I am excited to join PDC Logic and partner with Intervale Capital again. With best-in-class drill bit performance, service quality, and design capabilities, PDC Logic is well-positioned to quickly capture market share," said Mr. Dyer. "I look forward to working with this great team and leading the company through an exciting phase of growth and innovation."
