📊 A change of course that brushes the border
The Colombian state-owned company Ecopetrol confirmed this Tuesday a shake-up at the top of its leadership: attorney Camilo Barco Muñoz will serve as acting president in place of Juan Carlos Hurtado, while six new names join its board of directors, which is made up of nine people, at the proposal of the Government of De la Espriella. The announcement was made by the company itself in a statement.
Among the appointments, there is one we read twice in PitbullChain: attorney Jorge Jaller, the same person the Colombian Executive designated as Ambassador of Colombia to Venezuela, and who comes from Grupo Éxito, the retail giant in the neighboring country. That the diplomatic link with Caracas is reflected in the company’s highest decision-making body is not a matter of mere protocol. It is a sign that the energy and commercial relationship with our country has moved to being treated as an operational matter.
