We are pleased to announce that Jerry Dresner has joined Global Geophysical as Vice President of Finance.  Jerry has over twenty seven years of financial management experience in an international operating environment.  With his broad range of skills and experience within Sarbanes Oxley, internal and external audit, and US and International Tax, Jerry is ideally suited to lead the Finance and Accounting group as Global expands our worldwide operations.  Jerry’s initial responsibles will be focused on financial reporting and controls.

Jerry started his career in 1980 working in the fixed asset department of Dresser Industries’ corporate division based in Houston, Texas.  In 1987 Dresser sold its Wireline interest to Litton Industries, which later spun off and became Western Atlas International Inc.

“Jerry has managed accounting and finance for the biggest geophysical contractor in the world, and most of the Global management team have worked with him for over two decades,” comments Richard Degner, President and CEO of Global.  “To have him here in our formative years at Global provides me with a great sense of comfort.  Jerry brings an enormous breadth of experience both domestically and internationally; his oversight to our finance, accounting, and internal controls safeguards our company and its shareholders during this tremendous growth cycle that we are blessed with!”
