Amin Nasser will be represented on the supervisory board in the future, Blackrock announced on Monday. Nasser joined Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil giant in 1982 as a petroleum engineer. In 2015, he was promoted to CEO of the Group and was thus also responsible for the IPO in 2019. He is to replace Bader Alsaad, the chairman of the board of the Arab Fund for Economic & Social Development, who will not stand for re-election in 2024. The appointment is explosive because it can be seen as a signal to the vocal critics in the USA of the asset manager's strategy.
