AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Oceaneering International (OII)

Oceaneering CFO Alan Curtis to retire January 1, 2026; Michael Sumruld to join as finance SVP

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Oceaneering International said its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Alan R. Curtis, will retire effective January 1, 2026. Michael W. Sumruld, former CFO of Parker Drilling, will join as Senior Vice President of Finance on September 1, 2025, and is expected to succeed Curtis as CFO. The filing gives no financial results, so the change is a leadership transition rather than a change in company performance.

Key points

  • Alan R. Curtis retires as CFO effective January 1, 2026, and will serve in a supporting role during a transition period if required.
  • Michael W. Sumruld joins as Senior Vice President of Finance on September 1, 2025, and is expected to succeed Curtis as CFO.
  • Sumruld was CFO of Parker Drilling Company from October 2017 until its sale to Nabors Industries Ltd. in March 2025.
  • Curtis joined Oceaneering in 1995 and has been CFO since 2015.
