Career Background of Boris Ivanov the Former Gazprom Chief
Boris Ivanov is a 59 years old investor with vast knowledge in oil production and discovery. He is the founder of GPB Global Resources, which is an Amsterdam-based oil company. He grew up as soccer and martial arts player. His parents help reputable positions at the USSR offices, which enabled him to access top schools in the region. The institutions provided Boris with the skills he required to begin his career. He started his career as a diplomat at Soviet Embassy in Washington, DC.
During his tenure, Boris Ivanov enabled many changes in authority that improved his diplomatic skills. He played a vital role during the arms control dialogues with the American leaders. In 1991, he left the civic service after the USSR collapsed and shifted to the banking industry, focusing on energy projects. Boris later becomes an advisor at Gazprom bank, operating under the third-largest financial body in Russia, Gazprom Group. He served Gazprom in various capacities before leaving in 2011 to establish GPB Global Resources after enough sector skills. The company is based in Amsterdam but specialized in oil discovery in South America and Africa. Boris controls the company’s new advancement plans. He also partners closely with the company’s shareholders to maintain a safe connection for the company’s growth. Although Boris Ivanov mostly focuses on GPB, Global Resources, he also runs other companies involved in the minerals, technology, and oil abstraction.
According to Boris Ivanov, for many years, the cost of oil and gas has remained constant. It has relatively been higher, making it hard for many Africans worldwide to access related commodities. However, it should be noted that even the discovery activities in the continent have also been replicated to the high energy charges. Boris maintains that many companies that take part in energy exploration are from the other parts of the world. The firms aren’t in the African oil assessment industry to assist Africans but to take advantage and maximize their profits. Therefore, such firms will always charge high fees to Africans, resulting in only a few individuals in the continent accessing energy.
