Energy and financial industry veteran James D. Bennett served as the former president and CEO of SandRidge Energy. Previously, he held the position of managing director first at GSO Capital Partners and then also at White Deer Energy.

Bennet is a current board member and executive chairman of Tapstone Energy, an Oklahoma-based gas company.
