KLX Energy Adds Ex-Hi-Crush CEO Hallen, Investor Edmonds to Board
HOUSTON – October 30, 2026 -- KLX Energy Services Holdings (NASDAQ: KLXE) has appointed investor Franklin S. Edmonds, Jr. and former Hi-Crush CEO E. Dirk Hallen as independent directors, replacing John Collins and Tom McCaffrey, who resigned from the board.
Both new directors will sit on the Nominating and Governance Committee. Edmonds also joins the Audit Committee, and Hallen joins the Compensation Committee.
KLX pairs a capital-allocation specialist with an oilfield-services operator
CEO Chris Baker said Edmonds' background in investments, capital allocation and governance and Hallen's oilfield services, operational and strategic experience would bring "complementary perspectives" as KLX executes its strategy. Baker credited the departing directors with guiding the company through the Covid era and what he called a "transformational capital rebalancing."
