RUBiS Energie has appointed Olivier Sabrié as the CEO for East Africa and Group Managing Director of RUBiS Energy Kenya. Mr Sabrié succeeds Mr Jean-Christian Bergeron who will be returning to Paris, France, to undertake a new assignment.

Mr Jean-Christian Bergeron has been the CEO for East Africa and Group Managing Director of RUBiS Energy Kenya since 2019 when RUBiS Energy entered the East African market. He has been instrumental in establishing RUBiS’ presence in the Kenyan and East African markets as one of the top three oil marketing companies.

Since RUBiS entry into East Africa, Mr Bergeron has led significant initiatives to solidify RUBiS’ position, including rebranding fuel stations across Kenya and East Africa, launch of Ultratech fuel technology, RUBiS Gas, and introduction of value-added offerings such as the RUBiS App, RUBiS Card, Enjoy shops, world-class Castrol lubricants, among others.

“This journey has been incredibly fulfilling,” says Mr Bergeron, reflecting on his tenure.  “Seeing the RUBiS brand become a trusted name in East African households and businesses is a source of immense pride.  We have created a foundation for continued success, and I am confident that Olivier will elevate RUBiS Energy in East Africa to great heights.”

“Kenya and East Africa are dynamic markets with immense potential for growth and development,” said Mr Sabrié. “I look forward to building on Mr Bergeron’s impressive legacy and driving RUBiS Energy Kenya’s mission to further enhance the journeys our customers take every day.”

RUBiS Energy Kenya has nearly 300 fuel stations nationwide, offering convenience to customers through its Enjoy stores, RUBiS Card, RUBiS App and RUBiS Gas.
