Sasol senior group executive for International Energy, New Business Development and Technology Lean Strauss has announced his intention to retire at the end of September. 

“My 31 years at Sasol have been my honour and privilege and I am very proud of all we have achieved. My retirement is a lifestyle decision and I am looking forward to spending more time with my family,” he said in a statement.

Strauss, who joined Sasol in 1982 as an investment officer of the Sasol Pension Fund, had been a member of the group executive committee since 2005.

He spent most of his career with Sasol Oil, occupying the positions of GM for manufacturing and supply, as well as GM for marketing.

He was appointed GM of Sasol Gas in 1997 and MD of Sasol Nitro in 2002. 

“Lean has been with Sasol for more than 30 years and has made a remarkable contribution to our company. His exceptional business acumen has played a key role in the development of Sasol, successfully contributing to growing our company and our people,” Sasol CEO David Constable said.

Constable noted that the group would be working with Strauss in the coming months to ensure a seamless transition, adding that an announcement regarding a successor would be made in due course.
