RUBiS Energie has appointed Olivier Sabrié as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for East Africa and Group Managing Director of RUBiS Energy Kenya.

The company said in a statement that Sabrié replaces Jean-Christian Bergeron, who will return to Paris, France, for a new assignment.

Bergeron has been serving in the position since 2019 when RUBiS Energy entered the East African market and is credited with spearheading the oil marketing firm’s expansion in Kenya and the East African region.

“Mr. Bergeron has led significant initiatives to solidify RUBiS’ position, including rebranding fuel stations across Kenya and East Africa, launch of Ultratech fuel technology, RUBiS Gas, and introduction of value-added offerings such as the RUBiS App, RUBiS Card, Enjoy shops, world-class Castrol lubricants, among others,” Rubis said.

Sabrié boasts a wealth of experience, having most recently served as Chairman, Managing Director, and VP of South Asia at Total Energies Marketing India Private Ltd.

His career with Total Energies began in Mozambique and included leadership roles in various African countries, as well as in France, Pakistan, and India.

“I look forward to building on Mr. Bergeron’s impressive legacy and driving RUBiS Energy Kenya’s mission to further enhance the journeys our customers take every day,” Sabrié said.
