Investors in Ensco (VAL)may be a little nervous right now because CEO Daniel Rabun, the man who has led Ensco through a spectacular transformation in the rig industry, has announced his retirement. In the eight years that Rabun has been at the head of the company, Ensco has gone from an almost exclusively jackup rig company to an elite ultra-deepwater company that is now going head-to-head with industry leader Seadrill (SDRL).
