Meet the new boss
Article Abstract:
Equitable Resources Inc. (ERI) of Pittsburgh, PA, has appointed Murry S. Gerber as its new CEO, replacing interim CEO Donald I. Moritz, who is to vacate his position in June 1998. According to Moritz, who replaced Frederick H. Abrew, who made an unanticipated resignation in the summer of 1997, the company has become more focused since Abrew's resignation. Abrew's prediction that the company's Energy Services unit would have a one-third share of the company's earnings by 2000 crumbled when the unit lost $10 million in 1997. Gerber said that under his management, the company will set attainable goals.
