Change at the Top for Energy Analyst PIRA
Global energy market analyst PIRA Energy Group has promoted COO Gemma Postlethwaite to be its new Chief Executive, allowing founder Dr. Gary N. Ross to move to the role of Executive Chairman. Ross will also continue to lead the company's oil group.
PIRA covers a wide range of energy commodity areas, basing its 'total view of the energy market' on both a bottom-up, fundamentals analysis of supply and demand and a top-down macroeconomic approach. Postlethwaite spent eight years at Thomson Reuters, latterly as Global Head of Alliances and Commercial Strategy, before joining Infogroup in 2011 as Chief Product Officer. She spent two years as an SVP at security and data recovery firm Altegrity before joining PIRA in April last year.
According to Ross, who set up the firm in 1976: 'Since Gemma came on board as COO in early 2014, she has had a transformational impact on the business. She has a keen sense of how clients' needs are changing and how best to address those needs. In a short period of time, we've rebuilt our online platform and created a roadmap for better delivering data and analysis to more types of energy professionals.'
