ABILENE, Texas, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Natura Resources today announced that Christopher Abundis has joined the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer.

Abundis joins Natura as the company advances commercialization of its molten salt reactor technology and expands its organizational capabilities needed to support future growth.

"Chris brings financial, legal and strategic leadership experience that will be invaluable as Natura continues to grow," said Jordan Robison, chief executive officer of Natura Resources. "He is deeply experienced in helping to lead acquisitions, capital raises, shareholder engagement and transformational growth initiatives. We are excited to welcome him to the team."

Abundis brings more than 20 years of experience across corporate finance, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, governance and legal affairs.

"That speaks to both the ambition of the mission and the caliber of the team executing it. Natura has demonstrated an ability to turn advanced nuclear technology into something tangible, and I'm excited to help build on that momentum as we scale the company and move toward commercialization."
