Wood Mackenzie names CEO

Liu (pictured) will replace Mark Brinin, who is departing the company to pursue other opportunities after overseeing Wood Mackenzie’s sale to Veritas Capital last year.

Before joining Wood Mackenzie, Liu was chief executive at Zywave, a software, data and analytics company in the insurance sector.

Ramzi Musallam, chief executive and managing partner of Veritas Capital, said: “Jason’s prior experience and skillset make him the ideal leader for Wood Mackenzie through this next transformative period of growth.

“We are completely aligned in our vision for Wood Mackenzie, and look forward to working with him as he builds upon the company’s position as the global market leader for data and analytics that enable the energy transition.”
