## Suitability for the current role

### Broad listed-resource finance experience [chris_bath_role_fit]

Career through cutoff · analyst inference · medium materiality

Analyst inference: disclosed CFO/CoSec roles at Oilex, Buru and Tap, finance posts with Noble Group and PT Petrosea, and current CFO appointment support functional relevance to Atomic Eagle’s ASX-listed resource company finance role. Tenure-level employer outcomes and audit-level performance evidence remain limited.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Prior titles establish experience, not a claim of successful or deficient performance.

**Relevance:** Relevant finance, reporting, capital-raising and governance background.
