ENOC appoints Hussain Sultan Lootah as acting CEO

The board of ENOC Group, the Dubai government-owned energy conglomerate, has appointed Hussain Sultan Ahmed Lootah as acting CEO, the company said in a statement last week.

Lootah succeeds Saif Humaid Al Falasi, who served as group CEO for the past decade, overseeing ENOC’s expansion and strategic growth initiatives.

“The appointment aligns with the group’s commitment to drive the future of energy and support Dubai’s ambitious plans of economic diversification and sustainable development,” ENOC said.

Lootah brings over three decades of experience to his new role at ENOC

Lootah, who brings over 30 years of leadership experience in the oil and gas sector, has held senior roles in finance, commercial strategy, project management, and human capital development. His previous work includes advancing Emiratisation efforts and strengthening local talent pipelines.

“ENOC Group is at the forefront of building a more sustainable energy landscape for the UAE and the wider region,” Lootah said. “I am honoured to step into this new role and look forward to working closely with ENOC’s talent and leaders to build on its legacy of innovation and excellence.”

ENOC, officially known as Emirates National Oil Company, operates across the energy value chain, from refining and storage to distribution and retail, and plays a central role in Dubai’s energy infrastructure and growth plans.
