Baker Hughes announced a range of updates to its leadership team on Sept. 3, which will go into effect on Oct. 1.

The oilfield services company cited its long-term growth strategy in an evolving market as the reason for the leadership changes.

Amerino Gatti is joining Baker Hughes as the company’s executive vice president of oilfield services and equipment, coming from Team Inc. as its previous CEO from 2018 to 2022 and as a member of Helix Energy Solutions’ board. Baker Hughes said Gatti’s expertise within the oilfield services sector will be critical to drive further profitability.

Maria Claudia Borras is being appointed to the newly created role of chief growth and experience officer. Borras, the executive vice president of oilfield services and equipment since 2022, will step into her new role to emphasize enterprise growth and customer experience as Gatti takes on her former position.

Muzzamil Khider Ahmed, the senior vice president and chief people officer since 2023, now joins the executive leadership team as the chief people and culture officer. With more than 10 years of human resources leadership experience at Baker Hughes, Khider Ahmed will strengthen human resources capabilities and systems.

Deanna Jones, the executive vice president of people, communications and transformation and chief human resources officer, will serve in an advisory capacity until fully leaving the company in 2025.

“Today’s leadership changes will ensure we deliver on our growth ambitions for our customers, shareholders and employees in the energy and industrial segments,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes.
