Partnership and governance
Braskem begins a governance renewal with IG4 entering management and Petrobras increasing its operational presence. The move pairs IG4's experience in restructuring and complex-asset management with Petrobras' technical expertise in the national petrochemical industry, a combination the new CEO says will preserve Braskem's strategic relevance.
Strategic and financial priorities
The stated focus is execution: reorganising the financial structure, improving operational efficiency, preserving liquidity and optimising cash generation. The company is reviewing and strengthening its long-term strategy, applying discipline in capital allocation and engaging financial stakeholders to optimise the capital structure.
Executive leadership
A new executive team was announced with experience in turnaround, finance and transformation. Hélcio Tokeshi, partner at IG4 with 35 years' experience, is CEO. Carlos Brandão, partner at IG4 and former Oi CFO who led a major debt restructuring, is CFO. Camilla Tápias becomes Vice President, Legal and Institutional Relations; Carlos Plachta is Global VP, Logistics, Trading and Market; Luiz Rossato is VP, Transformation; Márcio Pitzer remains VP, Compliance and Auditing; Nir Lander continues overseeing People and corporate affairs; Raphael Franco de Campos is Global VP, Operations.
Operations and commitments
Braskem says it continues normal operations and maintains legal, regulatory, safety and socio-environmental commitments, and ongoing relations with customers, suppliers, communities and authorities.
