Borouge brings in seasoned CFO to support post-merger growth push

Borouge Group International is bringing in a heavyweight CFO, tapping Patrick Jany for the job, effective 1 May, according to a statement. Interim CFO Daniel Turnheim will remain in place until the handover.

Meet the CFO: Jany joins from AP Moller-Maersk, where he served as CFO and a member of the executive board, bringing more than three decades of experience across industrial, logistics, and chemical sectors. He previously spent 25 years at Swiss specialty chemical firm Clariant, including as group CFO, and held earlier roles at Swiss pharma manufacturer Sandoz.

ICYMI- Borouge Group International was only just formed earlier this month through the combination of Borouge, Borealis, and Nova Chemicals into a USD 60 bn platform backed by Adnoc’s XRG and Austria’s OMV. The launch momentum was quickly tested, with operations briefly disrupted after debris-triggered fires forced a temporary suspension at its Al Ruwais plant, as we’ve previously covered.
