Saudi oil giant Aramco has named Ibrahim al-Buainain as chief executive officer of its trading arm, it said in an emailed statement on Tuesday in response to a Reuters query.
It said Buainain started in his new role earlier this month.
Buainain had held the position of head of transaction development at Saudi Aramco for less than a year, according to his Linkedin profile.
Prior to that, he was president of Aramco Asia.
Buainain replaces Yasser Mufti, who was named executive director of new business development in June.
