The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, known as TAQA, has appointed Carl Sheldon as CEO.
Sheldon succeeds H.E. Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi, who stepped down as TAQA’s Chief Executive Officer in July 2011 to focus on his role as director general of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA).
Sheldon was TAQA’s long-standing General Counsel for TAQA before becoming General Manager in the wake of Peter Barker-Homek’s dramatic departure as Al Nuaimi became CEO.
H.E Hamad Al Hurr Al Suwaidi, Chairman of the TAQA board, commented: “Carl has been a vital asset to the business during the past two years as TAQA’s General Manager. Carl will continue to lead the company in the right direction to deliver value to our shareholders. The board is confident in Carl’s continued success.”
Sheldon will remain member of the board of directors.
