Total has appointed refining head Patrick Pouyanne as the new chief executive to take Late Christophe De Margerie's place and former CEO Thierry Desmarest as non-executive chairman.
The nominations for the appointments came less than 48 hours after the brutal death of Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie in a plane crash in Moscow.
However, Desmarest, previously honorary chairman of the oil group, will keep his new position until the end of 2015, after which the roles of CEO and chairman would again be combined, Total said in a statement following an emergency board meeting.
