OFFICE: NZR: New Chief Executive for Refining NZ
On behalf of the Refining NZ Board, I am pleased to announce that Sjoerd Post
will succeed Ken Rivers as Refining NZ's Chief Executive Officer.
Sjoerd Post is currently Executive Vice President Downstream Strategy &
Portfolio of Shell International Petroleum Co Ltd based in London- a position
he has held for the last year after running Shell's Global Aviation fuels and
lubricants business for the previous five years - and has held a wide
variety of leadership, technical and strategic roles during 30 years with
Shell International. Early in his career, Mr Post worked for Shell New
Zealand holding positions in IT & telecommunications, sales and customer
service, before moving to Europe.
The appointment was made after a broad international search and follows the
announced departure of incumbent CEO, Ken Rivers earlier this year.
"Sjoerd proved himself a very strong candidate for this critical position.
The Board believes his skills and experience are not only a good match for
the challenges the Company faces but that he will build on the strategic
direction and performance improvement journey that Refining NZ is on".
Ken Rivers will continue as CEO until December, 2012. Thereafter, Refining NZ
Project Director, Jack Ariel will be acting CEO until Sjoerd Post takes up
his position in January 2013.
A Dutch national, Mr Post is married with two children and has New Zealand
permanent residency.
