He has been CEO of Petronas since April 2015,[1] taking over from Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas.[4] In June 2018, Attorney General of Sarawak requested that Petronas be relieved of its authority role in the oil and gas market in the Sarawak region.[5] Zulkiflee has stated that oil and gas royalties and regulatory rights in the region were always under the authority of the Malaysian government, but consented to work toward a mutually acceptable working agreement nonetheless.[6]

In August 2018 Ahmad Nizam was appointed chairman of Petronas, however Zulkiflee maintained his position as CEO and president.[7]
