Kuwait Petroleum Corp.’s oil trading unit appointed company veteran Abdullatif Almukhaizeem as chief executive officer, taking the division closer to starting operations just as a clutch of Gulf state-run majors are expanding in the industry.
Robert Johnson, formerly with BP Plc and Klesch Group, has been named chief financial officer of KPC Trading Ltd., the unit’s Chairman Sheikh Khaled Al-Malik Al-Sabah said. He also confirmed an earlier Bloomberg report that former Vitol SA executive Yann Elbaz was hired as chief commercial officer.
