Noble Corporation Appoints Halliburton CEO Jeff Miller to Board of Directors

Offshore drilling company Noble Corporation has announced the appointment of Jeff Miller, the chief executive officer of Halliburton, to its board of directors. Miller, who also serves as Halliburton's board chair and president, has been with the oilfield services contractor since 1997. Over his nearly three-decade tenure, he has held various leadership roles, including chief operating officer, senior vice president of business development, regional vice president of the US Gulf, and operations vice president for Angola and Indonesia.

Noble board chair Charles Sledge highlighted Miller's deep industry expertise, strategic planning abilities, and international business acumen, stating that Miller will provide valuable insights and leadership as the company continues to guide its long-term strategy and deliver shareholder value.

The board vacancy arose after Kristin Holth informed Noble on March 12 that she would not seek re-election. According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Holth's departure was not due to any disagreement with the company. Holth, a former DNB Bank executive, had joined Noble's board following its merger with Maersk Drilling in 2022, having previously served on Maersk Drilling's board.
