The Secretariat of the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo is pleased to announce the appointment of Fareeza Haniff as the new Media and Operations Director and Kiana Wilburg as the new Chief Executive Officer.

With their extensive experience and forward-thinking vision, Haniff and Wilburg are poised to lead the Secretariat into a new era of growth and influence.

According to an official statement issued by the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo, Fareeza Haniff brings a wealth of experience to her role as Media and Operations Director.

Her leadership roles within various media outlets, coupled with her tenure at the Executive level of the Guyana Press Association (GPA) from 2014 to 2020, have equipped her with invaluable expertise in media and operations management. Haniff’s strategic thinking and commitment to excellence are expected to enhance the Secretariat’s outreach efforts and operational efficiency, while her effective leadership skills will guide diverse teams toward success.

As the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Kiana Wilburg brings a profound understanding of the energy sector and a proven track record in journalism. Since entering the field in 2013, Wilburg has distinguished herself as a perceptive reporter with a keen focus on politics, finance, parliamentary affairs, and agriculture.

Her passion for the energy sector was ignited in 2015 with the discovery of oil and gas in Guyana, and she has since dedicated herself to investigating, analyzing, and documenting every aspect of this dynamic industry. Wilburg’s balanced approach and enthusiasm for the energy sector highlight her commitment to contributing meaningfully to Guyana’s oil and gas narrative.

The release further stated that with their combined expertise, Haniff and Wilburg are well-positioned to lead the Secretariat in its mission of fostering dialogue and innovation in Guyana’s energy landscape. As the organization enters a phase of growth and expansion, it remains steadfast in its commitment to serving as a leading think tank on issues shaping the growth and sustainability of Guyana’s economy. Under the guidance of Haniff and Wilburg, the Secretariat will continue to facilitate crucial discussions, drive collaborations, and champion solutions that propel Guyana toward a prosperous future.

The Secretariat extends its gratitude to outgoing Chief Executive Officer, Kurt Baboolall, for his contributions over the past three years. Mr. Baboolall will transition to lead other projects within the GO Integrated Group of Companies.

The new leadership promises to usher in a new era of innovation and progress for the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo.
