Anthony Marino was elected chairman of the supervisory board of Naftogaz of Ukraine at a meeting on Friday, Alexei Chernyshov, head of the company’s board, said on Facebook.

“Just now at a meeting of Naftogaz’s supervisory board, its chairman was elected. I salute Anthony Marino on his election!”, – wrote the head of NAC.

“Anthony (USA/Canada) has significant management experience. He is currently president and CEO of (Canadian – IF) energy company Tenaz Energy. Prior to that, he served as executive director, president and CEO of Vermilion Energy, an international hydrocarbon exploration and production company,” Chernyshov noted.

Morino served on the supervisory boards and boards of directors of six companies and organizations from 2002-2020.

“I am sure that his many years of experience in hydrocarbon exploration and production will help our group of companies to achieve the best results,” the head of Naftogaz stressed.

Chernyshov said the reinstatement of Naftogaz’s supervisory board at a time when Ukraine’s energy system is being tested through a full-scale war is an extremely important development.
