Ecopetrol Appoints Carlos Suárez Rojas as New Board Chairman
Ecopetrol, Colombia's largest energy company, has appointed Carlos Augusto Suárez Rojas as its new board chairman. The change took place during a September 17 meeting where Claudia Margarita Lafaurie Taboada was also named vice chair. Luis Felipe Henao Cardona steps down from the chairmanship but remains on the board and will lead Ecopetrol's Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. The leadership reshuffle includes reorganizing six main board committees, with new appointments taking effect immediately. The company is managing a large integrated energy portfolio across oil, gas, electricity transmission, refining, petrochemicals, and natural gas distribution in Latin America and beyond. Ecopetrol also owns 51.4% of ISA, an infrastructure group operating in multiple countries. The new leadership will oversee strategic decisions affecting hydrocarbons, power networks, and broader energy infrastructure as the company continues to expand its operations internationally.
