Singapore, 16 September 2025: Puma Energy today announced the appointment of two new independent non-executive directors, Amr Adel, former Senior Vice President, Global Mobility Asia and Middle East for Shell, and Frédéric Baudry, former President of BP Australia and Senior Vice President of BP Mobility and Convenience for Asia Pacific and South Africa.
The appointment of two independent directors will strengthen the company’s governance – providing further accountability, transparency, and strategic oversight. Both Amr and Frédéric bring deep expertise in downstream retail leadership, portfolio management, joint venture governance and strategic partnerships.
Amr Adel has more than 30 years of experience from Shell, where he led business growth and transformation in downstream operations and joint ventures, including retail, lubricants and commercial fuels across diverse markets including Africa, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
Frédéric Baudry brings more than 35 years of experience from BP, 20 of which were spent serving on the Executive Committees of the various downstream energy businesses. Frédéric has a strong track record of driving retail growth strategies, fuels value-creation integration, operational performance turnaround and safety culture, specifically in high potential markets, including in Africa and Asia.
Jiri Zrust, Head of Trafigura’s Operating Assets division and Chairman of the Board for Puma Energy, said, “We are pleased to welcome Amr and Frédéric to serve on Puma Energy’s Board of Directors. Their insights and leadership will be invaluable as Puma Energy enters a new chapter focused on growth.”
These appointments further strengthen Trafigura’s governance strategy for its subsidiary companies as part of the newly created Operating Assets division. The division will bring good practice in private equity and infrastructure investment as it relates to governance and management of Trafigura’s operating subsidiaries. Appointing two new independent board members will help ensure the necessary level of objectivity, strategic oversight and risk management.
