LONDON, U.K.: This week, BP appointed Simon Henry, former Shell finance chief, to its board as a non-executive director effective September 1.
Henry, who worked at Shell for over three decades, was its chief financial officer between 2009 and 2017 and is currently a non-executive director at Rio Tinto, from where he will step down in the second half of the year.
Under Henry's watch as Shell CFO, the oil giant acquired BG Group in a $54 billion deal, making it one of the world's largest liquefied natural gas traders.
Pamela Daley, non-executive director, will step down from the BP board for personal reasons, compelling immediately, the British firm added.
