Ecopetrol Announces Changes in Senior Management
The state oil company named internal acting replacements as five other executives departed days earlier, while shareholders prepare to elect a new nine-member board.
- On Monday, August 31, Ecopetrol announced changes to two senior executive positions, completing a widespread leadership transition ahead of the September 15 extraordinary shareholders meeting.
- These appointments follow a broader clear-out in late August where five vice presidents and senior executives in refining and strategy left their posts and were replaced by internal acting appointees.
- Diana Marcela Acero Rojas, formerly innovation manager, replaced Sergio Andrés Moreno Acevedo in Science, Technology and Innovation, while Henryk Manuel Porras Villamil assumed the acting executive vice presidency of Transition Energies.
- Shareholders will elect all nine board members on September 15, voting on statutory reforms to board renewal and succession policies at the company, which is roughly 88.5 percent owned by the Colombian government.
- Management churn and the board reset reflect the influence of the new government, which is expected to recalibrate Ecopetrol's energy transition strategy toward more conventional production.
