Overview
- The appointment was formalized by Board Agreement No. 142-2025-PP and took effect on December 6, with disclosure to the securities regulator.
- Villa Mora succeeds José Manuel Rodríguez Haya, who had served in the role on an interim basis since late October.
- Two earlier nominees fell through this week: Arturo Rodríguez due to an ongoing judicial investigation and Iván Montoya for not meeting FONAFE requirements.
- Reporting links all three candidates to the circle of former general manager Óscar Vera, with sources alleging pressure to place loyalists and to stall a planned forensic audit of the Talara refinery.
- Sector sources say Villa Mora required an exceptional FONAFE authorization, while Petro-Perú states the change aims to strengthen strategic and operational leadership as MEF staff review internal information for the shareholders’ meeting.
