Amin Nasser leads Aramco, the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals company, and the single biggest supplier of crude oil to global markets. With nearly 40 years at the Saudi Arabian giant, Nasser has steered the company through a major transformation, expanding beyond its upstream dominance into downstream, chemicals, and cutting-edge clean energy technologies.
As senior vice president of Upstream before becoming CEO, Nasser oversaw Aramco’s largest capital investment programme in its integrated oil and gas portfolio. Today, under his leadership, Aramco continues to strengthen its global position with major investments and joint ventures both inside Saudi Arabia and in international markets, while maintaining one of the strongest balance sheets in the global energy sector.
Earlier this year, Aramco successfully raised $5bn through a three-tranche bond issuance that attracted strong institutional demand. The offering included $1.5bn in 2030 notes at 4.75 per cent, $1.25bn in 2035 notes at 5.375 per cent, and $2.25bn in 2055 notes at 6.375 per cent, with pricing reflecting Aramco’s robust long-term credit profile.
Nasser is also spearheading Aramco’s push into renewables and cleaner energy solutions. In a world-first, Aramco recently commissioned a megawatt-scale Iron-Vanadium (Fe/V) flow battery system at its Wa’ad Al-Shamal gas operations in western Saudi Arabia. The breakthrough renewable energy storage solution — jointly developed with Rongke Power — offers flexible, cost-effective power for remote industrial applications. The project supports Aramco’s net-zero ambition for its wholly-owned operated assets by 2050.
Beyond corporate strategy, Nasser champions youth development through initiatives like Aramco’s Young Leader’s Advisory Board, and supports Saudi SMEs via localised supply chain programmes. His international influence extends across the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council, MIT Presidential CEO Advisory Board, JP Morgan International Council, and BlackRock’s Board of Directors.
Nasser holds a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. During his career, he has earned several top global recognitions, including the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Lifetime Achievement Award, the ICIS Kavaler Award, and Energy Intelligence’s Energy Executive of the Year.
