Brazilian energy producer Eneva SA named former Goldman Sachs Group Inc dealmaker Fabio Bicudo as chief executive officer, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said on Wednesday.Bicudo left Goldman Sachs this week after a four-year stint, his second there, according to a memo obtained by Reuters. Last March, he became co-chief of Goldman's investment banking unit in Brazil alongside Antonio Pereira as part of a shakeup that followed a capital injection and a shift toward higher-margin products.Eneva, formerly known as MPX Energia SA, is jointly controlled by E.ON SE, Germany's largest utility, and Brazilian investor Eike Batista. Goldman Sachs was the main adviser for E.ON on its investment in MPX, which the German company renamed Eneva after building a 37.9 percent stake through a series of stock purchases from Batista."My work at Goldman Sachs was extremely gratifying because it not only allowed me to work with large Brazilian companies but also key multinationals," the memo quoted Bicudo as saying. "One of those companies invited me to head its operations."
