Petroperú has announced significant leadership changes. Luis Alberto Suárez Carlo, an engineer and lawyer with over 40 years of experience in the hydrocarbons industry, has been appointed as the acting general manager of the state-owned oil company. His appointment is scheduled to take formal effect on August 15, 2026, with the aim of strengthening operational and commercial management to ensure national energy security.

Separately, Oliver Stark, who was named president of Petroperú last week, has been identified as a board member of the gold processing company La Joya Mining.
