Ms Jones has been the company’s director of finance and accounting since August 2007. From May through August 2007, she provided independent consulting services to the company, primarily in the testing and implementation of financial accounting and reporting software.

Prior to joining EnerJex, Ms Jones held management positions for several years with UtiliCorp United, and served three years in public accounting with Arthur Andersen.

Steve Cochennet, CEO of EnerJex Resources, said: I have known and worked with Dede for more than 15 years and we are very fortunate to have someone with her talent and integrity to serve as our CFO. With EnerJex’s rapid growth in an industry with extensive reporting and regulatory requirements, it is imperative we have someone with the inherent skills to manage that process and support that growth.
