Petrobras has appointed Raphael Campos as head of operations and Carlos Platcha as chief consumer markets and logistics officer, and nominated Magda Chambriard — its CEO — to serve as chair of Braskem.

What triggered the leadership shakeup at Braskem, and what is the immediate next step in the process?
