“I am proud of our achievements and the tremendous growth and development of our Company since its inception in 2010,” said Eisbrenner. “We have assembled a world-class management team to commercialize our market-leading U.S. LNG project and, after more than seven thrilling years as CEO, it is a perfect time to pass the baton to Matt’s capable hands to lead NextDecade through its next phase of development. He is a deeply respected leader within our organization and throughout the global energy industry and, as Chairman, I look forward to supporting him as we work to realize our vision of providing highly competitive LNG to customers around the world.”
