Danish energy trading firm InCommodities, backed by Goldman Sachs, has named John Dimech as the new chief executive for its Asia-Pacific operations, marking a strategic step in strengthening its presence across the region.
Dimech brings decades of experience from Shell, where he spent most of his career in senior trading and risk management roles. During his time there, he led major commercial teams across oil, gas, and power markets, gaining a reputation for building and guiding large-scale trading organizations.
He is set to begin his new position on February 2 and will be based in Melbourne, Australia. In this role, Dimech will oversee the growth of InCommodities’ Asia-Pacific business and spearhead expansion into new and emerging regional markets, according to a company spokesperson.
InCommodities APAC functions as an independent arm of the broader InCommodities group, focusing on power trading across Asia-Pacific energy markets. The division currently employs around 30 professionals, primarily operating in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The company plans to broaden its footprint as additional markets across the region continue to liberalize.
Beyond Asia-Pacific, InCommodities has also been extending its reach in the United States. Goldman Sachs and several other investors together hold a 15% stake in the firm, supporting its international growth ambitions and long-term expansion strategy.
