Analysis · NOEM · Real Estate & Construction
Just days after shareholders approved a critical SPAC deadline extension to June 2027, Brady Rodgers resigned as President and CEO of CO2 Energy Transition Corp. on July 27. Stepping into the role is Chairman Charles Fox, an experienced energy executive.
