Advantage Energy Shakes Up Leadership as CEO Departs
John Festival, the current chair of Advantage Energy, has stepped into the role of interim chief executive following the abrupt departure of Michael Belenkie. The transition arrives as the Canadian gas producer prepares to scale output at its newly finished Progress facility to record volumes later this year.
Michael Belenkie, who leaves the top post after serving as president and CEO since January 2022, first joined the company in 2018 as chief operating officer. He ascended to the president role a year later, guiding the firm through its recent expansion phase. Advantage Energy expects production levels to hit new peaks throughout the second half of this year under the new interim leadership.
