Eos Petro, Inc. has appointed Alan D. Gaines as chief executive officer.

“The board of Eos is pleased and very excited to attract someone of Mr. Gaines’ caliber. His professional acumen and experience regarding all aspects of capital formation, mergers and acquisitions in the oil and gas industry are a great asset for Eos and its stockholders going forward,” said Nikolas Konstant, chairman, director, and founder of Eos Petro.

Alan Gaines has more than 30 years’ experience as an energy investment and merchant banker, and has participated in the raising of debt and equity totaling in excess of $100 billion during his career. An acknowledged expert within the oil and gas space, numerous oil and gas industry periodicals, as well as a multitude of magazines and newspapers on a global basis have quoted Gaines over the years.

In 1983, Gaines co-founded Gaines, Berland Inc., a full service investment bank/advisory and brokerage, specializing in global energy markets, with particular emphasis on small to mid- capitalization public and private companies, involved primarily in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. In the three years prior to selling his personal stake in the company in 1998, Gaines, Berland acted as lead underwriter and/or participated in the placement of more than $3 billion of equity and debt securities in the energy sector.

In recent years, Gaines founded Dune Energy, Inc., where he served as chairman of the board of directors from its inception in 2001 through April 2011 and as chief executive officer from inception through April 2007. Gaines was the driving force behind Dune’s successful capital raise in excess of $500 million in May 2007, which resulted in the acquisition of Goldking Energy Corporation.

Gaines holds a B.B.A. in finance from Baruch College (CUNY), and an M.B.A. in finance (“with distinction”-valedictorian) from The Zarb School, Hofstra University Graduate School of Management.

“I am extremely pleased to be associated with Eos and its distinguished board of directors. I fully expect that our team will grow Eos into a formidable and intelligently capitalized company in the near future. Our goal will always be to fully maximize shareholder value,” said Gaines.
