HOUSTON, February 7, 2022: Energy Advisors Group (EAG), a leading energy advisory firm is
pleased to announce the promotion of Rene McKale to Managing Director. Rene McKale

of transaction advisory experience in energy investment banking. His successful transaction
experience includes advising on asset and corporate deals, buyside and sellside, conventional

that Rene has the right skills and experience that will be a perfect complement to our growing
energy coverage franchise,” said Adrian Goodisman, Partner at EAG. “Rene’s years of investment
banking experience and technical expertise will be incredibly beneficial as our upstream oil and
gas clients seek advice on how best to optimize their portfolios.”
