Hédi Grati, based in London, is responsible for S&P Global petrochemical feedstocks research across Europe, Eurasia and Africa, bringing together data, insights and expertise across crude oil, natural gas liquids, refined products, olefins and aromatics markets. Further to that, he specializes in the future of European refining in a decarbonizing world. He previously managed the European Fuels and Refining team S&P Global Commodity Insights, responsible for short- and long-term forecasting of supply, demand, trade, prices and margins, as well as country- and asset-level analysis across the downstream value chain.

He joined the legacy Purvin & Gertz downstream consulting team (acquired by IHS Markit, now part of S&P Global) in 2014, where he carried out numerous tailored assignments for oil companies, traders, logistics providers and financial institutions. He also headed two landmark multiclient studies on the future of shipping and marine energy, Navigating choppy waters and Reinventing the Ship, which, together with prior industry assignments, gave him a deep understanding of marine bunker markets and the wider 'bottom of the crude oil barrel'.

Before joining S&P Global, Mr. Grati worked for Exxon Mobil Corp., where he held various technical, operational, economic and supervisory roles at two of ExxonMobil's refineries and a regional optimization role at its European headquarters. He holds a Master of Science in civil engineering from Ghent University, Belgium, and an Executive MBA from Antwerp Management School, Belgium. He is a native Dutch speaker and fluent in English and French.
