Hamza joined the company as chief operating officer, Retail and Marketing in September.

"We are very excited to have such a prominent industry leader joining our organization and are looking forward to Joe guiding Retail and Marketing Division to the new level of success," said Tony EI-Nemr, president and CEO of Nouria Energy Corp.
