Petrobras announced this Friday (24) that its board of directors has approved the appointment of Magda Chambriard as a board member and has elected her as the new CEO of the company.
Ms. Chambriard assumed both positions this Friday and joined the board immediately, without the need to convene a shareholders’ meeting, the state-owned company said.
The new CEO of Petrobras is an engineer who has built her career within the company. She served as the director-general of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) from 2012 to 2016.
The executive takes over the position vacated by Jean Paul Prates, who was dismissed by President Lula on May 14 after a series of disagreements regarding the management of the company.
