Christophe de Margerie and three other French citizens died in a plane crash at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, officials said Tuesday.
"Tonight, a plane crashed when it collided with a snow-clearing machine. Three crew members and a passenger died. I can confirm that the passenger was Total's head de Margerie," airport spokeswoman Elena Krylova said.
De Margerie, who was nicknamed "Big Mustache," started with Total in 1974 at their finance department and became CEO of the French company in February 2007. He had worked extensively for Total in the Middle East.
