Methanol Institute names new COO

With immediate effect, Döll will take on this global position from MI’s Brussels office, drawing on his extensive background in the chemical industry and the energy transition, having previously held leadership positions at OCI Global, Dow and Hill & Knowlton.

“Alexander’s appointment is timely, given methanol’s growing role in the energy transition,” said Ben Iosefa, Methanex executive and chair of the MI board.

“As our association expands and diversifies, representing every part of the value chain at various stages, we require a leader who is hands-on, strategic, and innovative. Alexander has the necessary skills and mindset to effectively guide us through these dynamic times.”

Originally from the Netherlands, Döll has a wide experience in public and government affairs, commercial and sustainability issues spanning Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Northeast Asia and the US.

He has played a pivotal role in major initiatives at meetings of COP and the World Economic Forum, and previously served as vice chair of the Methanol Institute’s Policy Committee while at OCI Global.

“Our incredible team is at the forefront of representing our members and the industry across the globe, and I am eager to work closely with them,” said Döll.

“Tackling the challenge of net zero carbon requires harnessing all the skills and talent at our disposal, boosting our capabilities and supporting global industry in the energy transition.”
