Russia's pipeline monopoly Transneft gets new president
Published: 15 October, 2007, 10:53
Nikolay Tokarev has been named as the new president of Russia's pipeline monopoly. It's a return to familiar ground for Tokarev, who was vice-president of Transneft during the 1990s.
Tokarev takes up the position after seven years in charge of Zarubezhneft – a state owned oil company focusing on Russia's energy interests abroad.
Transneft's shares jumped nearly 2% after the news was announced.
The former head of Transneft, Semyon Vainshtock, left the company to head the state Olympic Corp, set up to manage the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
