Noble Energy recruits new general counsel

Rachel Clingman joined the firm this week

Rachel Clingman started work with Houston, Texas-based Noble Energy on Monday as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, with responsibilities including leadership of the company’s legal and compliance teams.

Clingman says in a statement: ‘I am excited to join such a dynamic and successful company and leadership team. The company’s track record of value creation and impact on the communities where it operates is unique, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success.’

‘We are thrilled to have Rachel as a key part of the Noble Energy team,’ says David Stover, Noble Energy’s chair, president and CEO, in a statement. ‘She joins us at a strategically important time in the history of the company, as we are rapidly increasing cash flows from our onshore business and offshore major projects. Her experience and perspective will bring significant value to our leadership team.’
