Overview
- Petro-Perú’s board named Gustavo Adolfo Villa Mora acting general manager by Board Agreement No. 142-2025-PP and notified the securities regulator (SMV).
- Villa, previously operations manager at the Talara refinery, takes over from José Manuel Rodríguez Haya, who had been serving in an interim capacity since October 24.
- Two earlier bids failed this week: Arturo Rodríguez’s candidacy was withdrawn due to an ongoing judicial investigation, and Iván Montoya was rejected for not meeting Fonafe’s executive profile requirements.
- All three candidates considered were proposed by a circle close to former general manager Óscar Vera, according to reporting that describes his continued influence inside the company.
- Sources also report concerns that the outgoing network seeks to stall the Talara refinery’s planned forensic audit, while a MEF team is said to be working with the General Shareholders’ Meeting on potential reorganization steps.
