RIO DE JANEIRO, June 14 (Reuters) - The chief executive
of Brazilian state-run oil company Petrobras, Magda
Chambriard, has announced her new management team, with the
appointment of three directors, the firm said in a filing on
Friday.
Fernando Melgarejo has been appointed as chief financial
officer, taking over the role from Sergio Caetano Leite, who was
ousted alongside former CEO Jean Paul Prates last month.
Renata Baruzzi will become the chief officer for
engineering, technology and innovation; and Sylvia dos Anjos
will head up exploration and production.
Current executive officers Clarice Coppetti, Mauricio
Tolmasquim, Claudio Schlosser and Mario Spinelli will retain
their positions under Chambriard for the time being, but
Petrobras said "other possible nominations will be communicated
to the market in a timely manner."
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva last month
dismissed Prates and named Chambriard to replace him, with a
mandate to speed up Petrobras' investment plan of $102 billion
for the 2024-2028 period.
