Tsotsoros takes over at Hellenic Petroleum

Efstathios Tsotsoros, chairman of Hellenic Petroleum, has taken on the additional position of chief executive, the company said in a bourse filing on Tuesday.

Tsotsoros’s appointment was proposed by the Greek state last week and approved at a board meeting on Tuesday. Grigoris Stergioulis steps down after three years at the helm.
