NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Dmitri Sinenko, head of U.S.

gasoline trading and executive committee member at Gunvor, is

leaving the Swiss trader to join Russian rival Litasco, two

sources familiar with the move said on Friday.

Sinenko, widely considered one of the top gasoline traders,

was poached by Gunvor from Noble Group at the end of 2017 as the

Asian trading group restructured after suffering heavy losses

and high debt. He spent a decade at Noble trading gasoline and

distillate fuels.

Gunvor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sinenko could not be contacted on his LinkedIn profile.
