Graham Robjohns is resigning as Golar LNG CFO after nearly 20 years with the LNG carrier company.

The shipowner said the executive will leave on 30 April next year to "facilitate a smooth transition".

Spin-off Golar LNG Partners (GMLP) also said that Brian Tienzo is stepping down as CEO and will focus full time on Golar group financing.

Robjohns will take on the additional role of Golar Partners CEO until his leaving date, with the Golar group starting the process now to replace both him and Tienzo.
