Alister Cowan is leaving his chief financial officer post at Husky Energy Inc. after six years to assume the same position at Suncor Energy Inc.
Suncor, Canada's largest energy company, had been searching for a full-time CFO since November, when Bart Demosky resigned to become finance chief at Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. Steve Reynish, who is Suncor's vice-president of strategy and corporate development, has been serving as interim CFO.
Mr. Cowan has nearly three decades of finance experience. Before joining Husky in 2008, he was CFO at BC Hydro, Direct Energy Marketing and TransAlta Corp.
He makes the move as both Suncor and Husky, which have similar production and refining businesses in North America, enjoy improving operations and sharp gains in the stock market. His first day with Suncor is July 21.
Husky said it would name a replacement "in due course."
