Mr. Michael Bozumbil
Mr. Bozumbil has been the Chief Executive Officer of PETROSOL Platinum Energy Limited since 2006, when it was founded by him as a petroleum business management and consulting firm.
Through diligence and strategic partnership, he successfully migrated the business from consulting to an Oil Marketing Company (OMC) in 2014 and has since led his team to successfully grow the company from its small beginning to become one of the leading Oil Marketing Companies in Ghana, focused on meeting the needs of consumers in an environmentally sustainable and ethical manner. Through his insistence on best practice, PETROSOL is known as a value-for-money brand, as it insists on delivering clean fuel in full quantity to its customers.
With over twenty-five (25) years’ experience in petroleum downstream business management starting from fuel retail outlet management through field operations supervision to senior level management and consultancy, he has a fine blend of experience which cuts across various categories of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) — multinational, Pan-African and indigenous/Ghanaian--which he uses to provide leadership and direction to team.
A firm believer in ethical business practices, win-win business relationships and best industry practices, he coaches and guides his team to live such values and to aim at nothing but the best, notwithstanding the challenges they encounter as a private indigenous company. This is because he believes that quality or excellence has no nationality.
Under his leadership, PETROSOL has received triple International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification. These are ISO 9001: 2015–Quality Management System; ISO 14001:2015–Environmental Management System and ISO 45001: 2018–Occupational Health & Safety Management and has also won several corporate awards and recognition such as the Corporate Social Responsibility Award (GOGA 2024), Best in Oil and Gas (Downstream (2024)), National Quality Award 2024, National Quality Award-Diamond Category, 2023; Brand of the Year, 2023 (Ghana Energy Awards); Employer of the Year Championing Diversity and Inclusion, 2023 (Women In Mining and Energy Awards); Indigenous Oil Marketing Company of the Year, 2022, (Ghana Oil Gas Awards); Lubricant Product of the Year, 2021 (Ghana Oil & Gas Awards) and Best Company in Fire Safety & Security Management, 2020 (Health, Safety and Security Awards).
