RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Pedro Parente, the chief executive officer of Brazil's state-controlled oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA, has resigned his post on Friday after a nationwide trucker strike forced the government to lower diesel prices.
In a statement, the company said the board will choose an interim CEO on Friday and that the company's other top executives will remain.
