“I am re-engaging to provide additional support to Tellurian, a company I co-founded with Martin Houston, using personal and friends and family funds,” said Souki. “I am 100 percent committed to Tellurian’s success and will be working alongside our President and Chief Executive Meg Gentle, Chief Operating Officer Keith Teague, and the most experienced LNG team in the industry to get our first-class project constructed,” he added.
