German gas and LNG importer Securing Energy for Europe (SEFE) said that its chief financial officer, Christian Ohlms, will leave the company effective September 30, 2026.
SEFE said in a statement that this follows an earlier decision not to extend his management contract, which was originally set to run until December 31, 2026.
The company said that Ohlms has helped shape the company during a “decisive phase in its stabilization and transformation.”
Under his leadership, the company “significantly” strengthened its financial foundation and rating profile, fully repaid state loans, and executed refinancing on capital markets.
In addition, all structural EU obligations were fully met and “important foundations for the company’s further development were established, SEFE said.
According to the company, a decision on the succession has already been made and will be communicated “at a later date.”
SEFE just signed a preliminary deal with Ksi Lisims LNG to buy LNG from the latter’s planned export project in Canada.
The company has been quite active over the past two years, signing LNG purchase agreements.
SEFE also recently launched a tender for medium-term LNG deliveries covering the period 2027 to 2036.
