Founded in 1985, Houston-based Flotek manufactures and markets the specialty chemicals used by oilfield services companies, as well as drills and pumps. The company has over 300 employees and reported $317 million in revenues last year, for a net loss of $27 million.

The firm has now brought in Elizabeth Wilkinson, a senior-level finance executive with deep expertise in the energy industry, to serve as their new CFO. She will be based in Houston and will report to Flotek President, Chairman, and CEO John W. Chisholm.

Before joining Flotek, was a Managing Consultant at Irvine, CA–based RGP (Resources Global Professionals), a finance-focused global consultancy.
