ENOC names Hussain Sultan Lootah as Acting CEO to lead next phase of growth

Dubai: The ENOC Group, a leading integrated energy company based in Dubai, has announced the appointment of Hussain Sultan Lootah as the Group’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, marking a key leadership transition aimed at strengthening the company’s focus on sustainable energy and economic diversification.

Lootah steps into the role following the departure of Saif Humaid Al Falasi, who led ENOC for the past decade and oversaw major expansions across the Group’s operations.

“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 building on ENOC’s legacy of innovation and excellence.”

With over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas sector, Lootah brings to the role a strong background in finance, commercial strategy, project execution, and talent development. His career has spanned leadership positions in upstream and downstream segments, with a strong track record of advancing Emiratisation and developing national talent.

ENOC said the appointment reflects its long-term strategy to align with Dubai’s vision for economic transformation, supporting both energy resilience and the transition to cleaner, smarter energy solutions across the UAE and beyond.

The Group continues to play a central role in the country’s energy value chain, with operations spanning exploration, production, refining, fuel retail, and renewable energy initiatives.
