North american blue energy partners (nabep):orth American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), an oil and gas exploration and production company, has appointed Sara Chouraqui as General Counsel, with Elizabeth Collery and Victoria Jacobson joining as Deputy General Counsel.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the appointments significantly strengthen NABEP's senior leadership team and legal expertise as the company improves its operations, increases production, and develops new strategic and commercial partnerships.

"Sara understands the complex legal and regulatory environment in which global businesses operate and, equally importantly, how a strong legal function can help a business grow, pursue opportunities, and build lasting partnerships. This expertise will be critical as NABEP enters an important new phase of its development, expanding our operations and establishing new strategic relationships," said NABEP Chief Executive Officer, Alejandro Betancourt.

Meanwhile, Chouraqui stated that the company remains committed to operating with integrity, upholding the highest legal and compliance standards, and setting a benchmark for responsible leadership in the energy industry in Latin America. She added that she, Collery, and Jacobson look forward to bringing their collective experience to support NABEP as it contributes to the revitalization of the Venezuelan economy.

With her experience navigating complex cross-border legal and regulatory matters, Chouraqui will lead NABEP's global legal function and advise the company's leadership on legal, regulatory, and corporate priorities, including major transactions and partnerships, governance, compliance, and the management of legal and regulatory risk across its operations.

Chouraqui joins NABEP following a distinguished career at the United Kingdom's Serious Fraud Office (SFO), where she served as Head of a Fraud, Bribery, and Corruption division, overseeing some of the office's most significant international investigations. NABEP stated that Collery and Jacobson also held senior positions at the SFO, closely assisting Chouraqui in her work.
