Since August 15, 2023, the Colombian Association of Oil and Gas has a new president: Frank Pearl, who was elected by the Board of Directors of the guild after a rigorous selection process. Pearl has an important professional background in the private and public sectors; when he was Minister of Environment in 2011, he led the climate change adaptation and reconstruction plans following the winter wave that the country faced that same year. He was also High Commissioner for Peace and peace negotiator in the processes with the FARC and the ELN, among other high-level positions. Under the leadership of its new president, the ACP will continue to build the country hand in hand with national government entities, regional authorities, and communities, as well as promoting the articulation and constructive social dialogue necessary for Colombia to achieve the sustainable energy future that Colombians require.
