Analysis · EC · Energy & Transportation
Ecopetrol's board simultaneously replaced five senior executives — covering HSE, administration, institutional relations, strategy, and refining — effective August 30, 2026. The departures come just weeks after CEO Ricardo Roa's exit and amid the company's integration of the recently acquired Brava Energia stake. While acting successors are internal, the breadth of the change suggests a coordinated leadership reset rather than isolated departures.
