Interpipe Names New Top Executive

On Friday, Interpipe’s shareholders voted to make Gennady Gazin the group’s chairman of the board.  Up until his appointment Gazin was a senior partner for the consulting company Mckinsey&Co and headed the company’s CIS office. Nick Piazza:  This move is part of Interpipe’s plans to restructure and the arrival of such a top-level professional should mean higher corporate governance standards are on the way. Several Interpipe companies are scheduled to hold shareholder meetings in February and as part of the group’s restructuring these companies are likely to be rebranded under the Interpipe name.
