Nayara Energy Names Denisov as CEO Amid EU Sanctions, Dorides Resigns
Imagine a big company called Nayara Energy that has a new boss.
The old boss, Alessandro des Dorides, left his job last week.
Now, Sergey Denisov is the new boss.
He used to work at the company as the chief development officer, since 2017.
Before that, he worked at another big oil company.
This change happened because the company is linked to a Russian company and got in trouble with the EU, which put some restrictions on them.
Nayara Energy, partly owned by Rosneft, has appointed Sergey Denisov as CEO.
Denisov replaces Alessandro des Dorides, who resigned last week.
Denisov previously served as Nayara's chief development officer since October 2017.
Des Dorides became CEO in March 2024.
The appointment follows EU sanctions against Nayara due to its ties with Russia.
