Enerkem appoints new CEO
Enerkem has appointed Michel Chornet as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Dominique Boies in this role.
This announcement follows a series of important changes to prepare for the next phase of the company’s growth.
Chornet, already an integral part of Enerkem’s leadership team for many years, assumes the role of CEO with immediate effect.
The appointment was a natural one as Michel’s family founded Enerkem in 2000 with cofounders Esteban Chornet (his father) and Vincent Chornet (his late brother).
Michel brings more than 25 years of experience in technology development, business development, plant start-ups, performance, financing activities, and growth management as well as R&D.
He has been with Enerkem for over 17 years in various leadership positions, and he notably headed business development activities as well as technology management.
He said: “Dominique has laid a robust foundation for Enerkem’s future success, and I am honored to build upon the foundation,” Michel remarked. “Dominique will forever be part of Enerkem’s journey, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for his contributions.
"Our focus remains on accelerating commercialisation efforts to help decarbonise the hard-to-abate sectors around the globe.
“We strongly believe we have the best available technology to decarbonise the maritime industry via our low carbon biomethanol, aviation via our best of class 2nd generation SAF, and circular chemicals.
“I am very proud to lead the organisation and our exceptional pool of talents as we embark on this new chapter and I am confident in our collective ability to achieve greatness.”
