Professional Recommendations

"Douglas has been an exemplary IR professional throughout the entirety of my experiences with him from 2015-2020 across two separate firms. He is a consummate professional and provides a unique and refreshing approach that prioritizes facts and clarity while representing his organization with both strength and fairness. He has been a candid source of industry knowledge and valuable insights that include not just his own firm but those of peers as well. Douglas is noticeably thorough in his desire to understand his industry and fairly champion value creation for his firm. He has a strong financial acumen, is an outstanding communicator and injects passion into his role. I would wholeheartedly recommend Douglas for many corporate roles and hope to continue working with him." 

"Having worked with Doug over a number of years in my former role as a sell-side analyst, I highly recommend him for his strong work ethic and background to excel given his experience. As the IR head, Doug always had a strong understanding of the business model and strategy and ability to assist in financial modeling. Given numerous road trips with him and his management team, it was clear he was highly respected and well-versed in managing both internal and external relationships. Having been deeply involved in a number of Capital market transactions, a merger and coordinating analyst day meetings, there isn’t a task he isn’t capable of excelling at.  Since my move to the corporate side just over a year ago, Doug has also been a source of information that has helped me become comfortable in my new role. He is always generous with both his time and his advice.  In addition to the above, Doug is a really good all-around guy that I have had the pleasure to get to know professionally before leading to a personal friendship."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Doug over the past few years. His personable attitude and command of the facts was always appreciated whenever discussing the nuances of the two companies he represented – Montage Resources and Eclipse Resources. Doug’s character, accessibility, and his willingness to spend additional time was a differentiating factor when attempting to evaluate both businesses. Doug’s adaption to a changing energy landscape was evident by his emphasis on quantifying Montage’s ESG score by displaying key figures both visually and verbally. While I didn’t have the pleasure of working in the office with him, I feel confident when saying that his charisma and passion would be infectious traits for any organization."

"Doug is a true professional. Always helpful, always accessible and made my job a little easier highlighting the salient points of Montage Resources (and Eclipse). I highly recommend Doug Kris and look forward to working with him again soon."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Doug for several years as a covering analyst of both Eclipse and Montage. I have always found him to be a knowledgeable advocate of the companies he represents and the oil and gas industry at large. He is a proactive communicator that is committed to making certain that others are as informed as he is with regard to company news and upcoming catalysts."

"I covered Doug's company as a Sr. Analyst on both the buy and sellside for nearly a decade. Of all the senior IR professionals I worked with, Doug and his company remained top of mind due to consistent proactive messaging on his part. He emailed and called every quarter around the report dates - before and after - as well as intra-quarter with views on the competitive landscape and the macro environment. By doing so, he added substantive value to my process and I assume many others', while performing the foremost requirement of his position - maintaining a strong and transparent relationship with current and potential stakeholders in his company. Would recommend Doug as an addition to any corporate IR team."

"Working with Doug over the past three years has truly been a pleasure. I first started working with Doug prior to the merger between Eclipse and Blue Ridge Mtn. Resources, which resulted in the creation of Montage Resources. As a young analyst on the sell-side Doug was extremely helpful in his IR role through the integration of the two companies, and my subsequent coverage of Montage. Doug's timely and thoughtful responses to my many questions, and his valuable insight on the natural gas market has always been appreciated."

"I got to know Doug while he led Eclipse/Montage's investor relations effort and found him to be very smart, personable and professional. He really knew his stuff and was a great representative for the company. Any CEO / CFO interested in upgrading their firm's investor relations would be wise to try and get Doug on their team."

"I had the pleasure of working with Doug as an analyst on his company’s credit for many years. His proactive approach and attention to detail were among the best I've seen. He possess a strong understanding of both the natural gas landscape and the underlying operations/engineering that allow him to to convincingly provide meaningful asset value recognition. Doug earns my highest recommendation and would be an asset to any company."

"As an analyst covering MR, I greatly appreciated the fact that Doug made himself available when needed and consistently shared helpful information on the company and industry developments. Whenever we asked for management access, Doug did his part to make those events happen. I value Doug for his extensive oil & gas experience, industry and company knowledge, ability to remain up to date on key developments, and ,most importantly, his willingness to share all of the above with the analysts. Thank you, Doug!"

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Doug professionally and personally since 2015. Doug and I worked together and Eclipse Resources and, subsequently Montage Resources, where I held positions of EVP & COO.  Doug is a fantastic investor relations professional. He knows every single name in the industry and has long standing relationships with most across all sectors - equity, debt, large and small institutional, analysts, and so on. He does a great job engaging investors and analysts by setting up very meaningful one on one meetings, conference attendance and calls. Doug does a very good job following up with investors and analysts and managing their expectations, walking through publicly communicated corporate plans. He has a very granular knowledge of business and is able to help calibrate analysts their models to ensure they incorporate a complex dynamics of not only developmental plans but also very nuanced midstream and marketing considerations.

Doug championed the ESG process with Montage Resources being the first to understand the importance of this concept as more and more entities make their investment decisions based on the ESG score. This was a very significant undertaking in a public company where no such prior construct had existed.

Given the opportunity, I will work with Doug again without a doubt. I highly recommend this bright and hard working IR professional! "
