Jim Sledzik has joined Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures (SAEV), the corporate venturing unit for Saudi Arabia-based oil producer Saudi Aramco, to head its US team.
Sledzik (pictured) spent nearly a decade as senior partner and president of venture capital firm Energy Ventures, helping it raise about $1bn for its funds. SAEV hired Sledzik to work under unit CEO Majid Mufti, at a time when it has been increasing its activity.
Separately, Imran Kizilbash has resurfaced from a career at oil services firm Schlumberger to join energy-focused private equity firm CSL Capital Partners as a senior adviser.
