Aminex CEO steps down due to health reasons

The chief executive officer (CEO) and director of oil and gas production and development company Aminex has decided to step down from his role in the company.

Aminex said on Friday that CEO and director of the company Jay Bhattacherjee stepped down with immediate effect due to health reasons.

The company added that Tom Mackay was appointed as an interim chief executive officer, with immediate effect.

Mackay joined Aminex in September 2014 as a non-executive director and is currently the senior non-executive director on the board. Linda Beal took over as the senior non-executive director.

Aminex added that it would begin the process for the recruitment of a new chief executive officer in due course.

John Bell, chairman of Aminex, said: “We are all very sorry that Jay has had to step down at short notice due to a medical condition which requires immediate attention.

“Since he joined the company in 2013, he has overseen a number of projects, most notably the progress on the Ntorya Field, and has been a well-respected colleague. We wish Jay all the very best as he focusses his efforts on his health in the coming months.”
