2 months ago

Jean Claude Gandur is a Swiss tycoon who was born on February 18, 1949. He got his start in oil trading and later parlayed his contacts in Africa into oilfields in Nigeria and a vast network of fuel storage and distribution assets across Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2013, he held an IPO of his oil venture Oryx Petroleum, which was developing big finds in Iraq's Kurdistan region. Unfortunately, the slide in oil prices knocked 50% off Oryx shares in the six months to February 2015. In 2009, he sold his publicly traded Addax Petroleum to Sinopec for $7.3 billion, but still operates a vast fuel distribution business in sub-Saharan Africa. Gandur is also an obsessive collector of Egyptian antiquities, post-War European art, ancient European artifacts, clocks and furniture.
