Didier Casimiro, a Belgian citizen resident in the United Arab Emirates, is a seasoned energy executive with over 25 years of leadership at BP plc (LSE:BP), TNK-BP and PJSC Rosneft Oil Company ("Rosneft"). He has directed global operations in refining, petrochemicals, trading, logistics and corporate finance, while leading multibillion dollar transactions. Rising to First Vice President of Rosneft, he managed corporate treasury, strategy, risk and investor relations, and engaged directly with governments, banks and international institutions.
Mr Casimiro has been a strong advocate for the energy transition, driving initiatives in carbon footprint management, carbon capture, efficiency and renewables integration. Now as a significant strategic investor in EQTEC plc, he combines deep Oil and Gas expertise, international networks and a proven record of strategic execution, positioning him as a highly valuable partner in supporting EQTEC's leadership in proprietary syngas and sustainable fuels solutions.
Mr Casimiro was previously included on the sanctions list by the UK and US Governments. Mr. Casimiro has advised the Company that his inclusion on the sanction list by the US and UK Governments was removed on 28 July 2023 and 15 November 2024 respectively and he is therefore no longer sanctioned by either the US or UK Government. The US and UK sanction position (which dates from 18 February 2020 and 2 August 2022 respectively) was due to his employment with Rosneft. Mr. Casimiro does however remain subject to sanctions in Australia, Canada and Ukraine. Having voluntarily resigned from Rosneft on May 12 2022, he is in discussions with the relevant regulatory authorities with a view to having the remaining sanctions lifted.
