The team has reported major-project, finance, legal and Argentine technical experience. The SEC’s settled McDermott order against CEO Dickson, prior-employer restructuring and financial-controls litigation, and Kachi funding and environmental oversight merit specific attention; individual responsibility and unresolved allegations are distinguished.

Decision-relevant facts

Material summary

Individual involvement and employer context shown separately

David Dickson

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Current
GovernanceDocumented · High materiality

SEC settled reporting-controls order

The SEC found that Dickson and then CFO Stuart Spence approved a Cameron project loss estimate developed outside regular processes despite a higher initial estimate, indirectly causing inaccurate McDermott books and quarterly reporting. In 2023 he consented to a cease-and-desist order and US$100,000 penalty without admitting or denying the findings. Lake stated the matter concerned his previous employer and was unrelated to Lake.

Individual involvement documented · The SEC order is a settled administrative order; its findings are not binding on others and are not a criminal finding.

FailureDocumented · High materiality

McDermott entered Chapter 11 during CEO tenure

McDermott entered voluntary Chapter 11 in January 2020 with a proposed restructuring to eliminate over US$4.6 billion of funded debt. Dickson’s court declaration says he had been CEO since December 2013.

Role overlaps event; causation unproven · Company-level performance or overlapping role does not establish personal causation.

LegalDisputed · High materiality

McDermott shareholder litigation

A separate securities class action named Dickson as a defendant over alleged merger-related disclosures. McDermott stated in Q1 2026 that it considered the claims meritless; in May 2026 the court appointed a lead plaintiff for a subclass. This procedural order is not a judgment on the allegations; the ultimate outcome was not located.

Individual involvement documented · Allegations and defenses remain distinct from the 2023 SEC settlement; no final liability determination was located.

Edwards order appointing lead plaintiff · May 18 order, pp. 1–2
Company SuccessIssuer Reported · Medium materiality

Kachi environmental approval and remaining financing

Lake announced Kachi’s environmental impact declaration in September 2026 and transition into FEED. The FY2026 report identified material going-concern uncertainty and financing needs; commercial production has not been delivered.

Role overlaps event; causation unproven · Company-level performance or overlapping role does not establish personal causation.

  • Original case docket and any developments after May 2026 were not fully obtained.
  • Independent verification of qualifications and exact McDermott departure remains incomplete.
