Gunvor's top US gasoline trader departs for Russia-backed rival, sources say
Adds background and that Litasco could not be contacted in paragraphs 4-8

NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Gunvor'shead of U.S. gasoline trading and executive committee member Dmitri Sinenko is leaving the Swiss trader to join Russia-backed rival Litasco, two sources familiar with the move said on Friday.
Sinenko's decision to depart was communicated to Gunvor employees over recent days, one of the sources said.
Gunvor did not immediately respond to a request for comment andSinenko could not be contacted on his LinkedIn profile.
Sinenko's role at Litasco could not be learnt immediately. Calls to Litasco's U.S. arm Lukoil Pan Americas did not connect.
Sinenko, widely considered one of the top gasoline traders of the past decade, joined Gunvor from Noble Group at the end of 2017 as the Asian trading group restructured after suffering heavy losses and high debt. He had spent a decade at Noble trading gasoline and distillate fuels.
He joined Gunvor at a time that the energy trader was just setting up its U.S. arm, taking charge of building and expanding the prized gasoline trading book in the country.
U.S. gasoline consumption makes up about 10% of worldwide oil consumption, making the business crucial to energy traders' profits.
Litasco, also based in Switzerland, is the trading arm of Russian energy giant Lukoil LKOH.MM. It moved some operations to Dubai and scaled back some other functions in 2022 after Western sanctions on Russia's energy industry for the war in Ukraine.
