Mohammad Shariatmadari, the CEO of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Holding, has been subject to numerous management changes and speculations in recent months. Despite efforts to remove him from this position, Shariatmadari has managed to remain at the top of this holding and now seems to be focusing on implementing new economic programs instead of getting involved in management controversies.
Change in Management Approach
Shariatmadari, who has worked at various political and executive levels in the country for years, showcased the first signs of his new management approach during a meeting of the holding's commerce council. He emphasized strengthening the commercial units of the subsidiary companies and stated that the examination of sales and export markets should be the responsibility of the commercial units of the production companies themselves, and the commerce council should not replace these units.

This change in approach indicates Shariatmadari's desire to increase accountability in the subsidiary companies and improve their economic performance. He has also asked CEOs to adopt a more economic perspective on production and pay special attention to the profitability of products. Shariatmadari emphasized that companies should identify existing markets and move towards producing products that have higher profitability.
Future Plans and Export Roadmap
During this meeting, Shariatmadari stressed the importance of examining various scenarios for continuing exports. The commerce council of the holding was tasked with designing an export roadmap for different foreign trade conditions. This issue is particularly important for the Persian Gulf Holding and its subsidiary companies, as the performance of many of these companies depends on export markets and maritime transport routes.
Shariatmadari also presented the appointments of the members of the commerce council during this meeting. At first glance, this action may seem like an administrative and routine program, but in the recent management atmosphere of the holding, it can be seen as a sign of a return to focusing management on executive programs. Thus, Shariatmadari has declared his determination to strengthen the commercial structure and improve the economic performance of the holding.
Given Shariatmadari's background in politics and public management, it is now expected that in the oil and petrochemical industry, he will achieve tangible results in the economic field with patience and calculated movements. The commerce council meeting clearly shows that Shariatmadari is now at a stage where he must turn his stay into management results and pursue his programs with greater strength.
