Prior to Aramco's initial public offering (IPO), he led the company's entry into the global debt and capital markets with its first bond issuance. He oversaw Aramco's 2019 IPO in which it became the world's most valuable listed company, and led its 2020 acquisition of Saudi petrochemicals giant SABIC.
In 2021, amid growing pressure for fossil fuel companies to become greener to contribute to climate change mitigation, Nasser warned countries against divesting in fossil fuels, arguing that it would cause inflation and unrest.
