  "account": "Ithaca Energy's CEO, Luciano Vasques, has announced his retirement plans, stating that he will step down by the end of March 2027, according to a recent announcement from the North Sea oil and gas producer. The news comes weeks after Ithaca completed its acquisition of Eni UK and joined the FTSE 100 index.\n\nIn a statement to the board, Vasques informed them of his intention to retire by March 31, 2027. The board has since initiated a process to identify a successor and will provide further details on the appointment at a later date, ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities.\n\nVasques cited the successful completion of the business combination, Ithaca's entry into the FTSE 100, and the establishment of a robust foundation for future growth as key factors leading to his decision to retire. He expressed satisfaction with the company's achievements and readiness for a smooth handover.\n\nExecutive Chairman Yaniv Friedman praised Vasques for his support during the transformative period for the company, particularly the integration of Eni UK. Friedman highlighted the development of a strong, shared culture that he and Vasques are proud of.",
