LNG player Woodside has appointed Liz Westcott to lead the company’s operations in Australia.

According to a statement by Woodside issued on Thursday, Westcott will take over the role as Woodside’s executive VP for Australian operations on June 1, 2023.

She will succeed Mike Price who has been in charge of the company’s Australian operations over the past five months.

Westcott most recently held the role of COO at EnergyAustralia.
