The Bolsonaro government announced this Monday (23) that it decided to change the president of Petrobras, 39 days after José Mauro Coelho took office in charge of the company.
The news reached the executive just over an hour before it was announced by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, to which the state company is linked.
To replace Zé Mauro, as he is known, was invited by Caio Mário Paes de Andrade, who serves as special secretary to Minister Paulo Guedes (Economy) and, if his name is confirmed by the company, will be the company's fourth president in the current government.
According to a member of the Petrobras board, the nominee does not meet the requirements for the position required by the Petrobras Senior Management Appointment Policy.
Andrade, who had already been quoted to occupy the company's presidency last month, has no proven experience of at least three years in the oil and gas market.
