Vitol Hires SEFE Metals Head de Sousa to Boost Copper Team
Vitol Group has hired the head of base metals trading at German state-owned energy firm SEFE to join its copper team as the energy trading giant continues efforts to expand into the metals business.
Adrien de Sousa, who started a base metals trading desk at Securing Energy for Europe GmbH in Singapore six months ago, will join Vitol later this year and report to head of copper Bruno Porto, according to people familiar with the move, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. De Sousa will be in charge of refined copper trading, one of the people said.
