Matador Resources Company (MTDR) Appoints Ex-Shell Executive to Board

Matador Resources Company has recently appointed Ms. Susan M. Ward to its board of directors. Ms. Ward brings a wealth of experience from her tenure at Shell Oil Company and her previous roles in the energy sector, including a significant background in finance and investment banking.
