Oil Patch Bits: Global Diving & Salvage announces Grennan as new CEO

After over 30 years as founders and owners of Global Diving & Salvage, Inc., Tim Beaver and John Graham continue to remain excited about the future of the company. They are pleased to announce the newest chapter in Global’s history; Devon Grennan, president for the past four years, will now also take on the position of CEO. Beaver and Graham will maintain ownership and continue to serve on the board of directors, but will step down from direct operational involvement.

Grennan began his tenure in 1995 as a marine environmental supervisor moving up the ranks to environmental division manager and by 2005 serving as the general manager. In 2009, Global formed its senior management team and he was moved into the position of president. As CEO/president his newest undertaking is to determine the overall strategic plan for the company and lead the senior management team and the board of directors in Global’s mission to provide quality marine service and discover new opportunities to better serve the maritime industry.

“I am very excited to take on this challenge. Global continues to develop new capabilities and uncover opportunities beyond the original vision of the founders,” said Grennan, “With the foundation laid these past 30 plus years and the quality and experience of our people, we continue to transition from a traditional commercial diving company into a more well-rounded, marine and subsea service provider. Our four regional locations and diverse service lines allow us to serve an ever-expanding market, both domestically and internationally.”
