Meg Gentle, who was a key public figure for Cheniere Energy Inc. on its path to becoming the first exporter of U.S. shale gas, is reuniting with the company’s ousted CEO and founder Charif Souki at his latest venture.
Gentle, 42, was named president and chief executive officer of Tellurian Investments Inc., a firm established by Souki and former BG Group Plc executive Martin Houston to develop liquefied natural gas projects, according to a statement Wednesday. She will invest $10 million in the company for a stake of about 7 percent and will remain CEO after its merger with Magellan Petroleum Corp., a transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter, Souki said in an interview before the announcement.
