New Zealand Refining appoints senior Shell executive Sjoerd Post as CEO

The New Zealand Refining Company has appointed a senior Shell executive as chief executive, Sjoerd Post, to succeed Ken Rivers when his tenure ends in December. Project Director Jack Ariel will be acting chief executive until Post assumes the position in January.
Post is currently an executive vice-president with Shell International Petroleum, overseeing its downstream strategy and portfolio based in London, a position he has held for the past year after running Shell’s global aviation fuels and lubricants business for the previous five years.
He has spent 30 years with Shell and early in his career worked for Shell New Zealand before moving to Europe.
Shell used to own 17.1% percent of Refining NZ. It sold its stake, its New Zealand petrol stations and 25% of Fly Buys in 2010 to Z Energy, a joint venture between listed infrastructure investor Infratil and the government’s New Zealand Superannuation Fund.
