The two co-founders of
Ecumene Ventures - Yerzhan Nauruzbayev and
Bauyrzhan Amirzhanov - have a combined experience of
20+ years in fuel management, commodities supply chain, and
environmental services. Their multi-continent (North America,
Europe, Asia) careers progressed at the intersection of technology
and the petroleum industry.
Company name Ecumene stems from the international nature of the
co-founders' professional backgrounds. The word
"ecumene" came from ancient Greek and was used to
describe the known world. Our team members always strive to grow
their ecumene, both personal and professional.
FOUNDERS
Ecumene co-founders bring together deep subject matter expertise in fuel management, petroleum, supply chain, industrial software, and emissions-reducing mechanisms.
Yerzhan Nauruzbayev
CEO / CO-FOUNDER
Ecumene CEO and co-founder
Yerzhan Nauruzbayev graduated from St.Norbert
College in the USA with a major in Global Business. Yerzhan's
experience in Transportation Tech dates back to 2011. Since
then, he has held various roles at Breakthrough Fuel, LaneHub,
and FG BCS.
In his career, Yerzhan has developed innovative products at the
intersection of commodities and transportation. He has a proven
track record of successful end-to-end optimization technology
implementations at Fortune 500 companies.
Marine fuel has always been Yerzhan's passion. He has developed
a solution for shipper-carrier fuel cost management in the past.
However, serving as the Head of Product Development at a major
financial powerhouse in Europe enabled Yerzhan to facilitate the
whole marine fuel supply chain.
From a crude oil barrel extracted in Western Siberia to fuel oil
produced at a refinery in Eastern Europe. From the refinery gate
to a physical bunker supplier in Rotterdam. Then to a bunker
trader based in Singapore and ultimately to the buyer on the
carrier side.
The combination of expertise in Fuel Reimbursement and Fuel
Procurement has ultimately led to the creation of the Ecumene
methodology, the industry's first per shipment, per voyage fuel
costs and CO2 emissions calculation mechanism.
