Aramco CEO survives drones, outlasts rival in stormy IPO year
Dubai: Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser will find himself at the helm of the world’s largest publicly traded company when the shares of the giant oilNSE -0.68 % producer start trading on the Riyadh stock exchange later this month.
It will cap a stormy year for the 60-year-old petroleum engineer, who’s proven a skillful survivor. He demonstrated his managerial prowess after the Sept. 14 drone and missile attacks that knocked out more than half of the state producer’s oil production: Aramco restored output within 11 days and continued to meet its commitments to customers.
