Ölkonzern: Ian Tyler wird dauerhaft Chef des Verwaltungsrats bei BP
Monatelang suchte BP intern und extern nach einem Nachfolger für den gefeuerten Albert Manifold. Jetzt steht fest, wer den Chefposten im Verwaltungsrat dauerhaft übernimmt.
British oil and gas company BP has permanently appointed Ian Tyler as the head of its board of directors, the company announced on Wednesday. Tyler will take on the role of board chairman, the oil giant said. The decision followed an extensive search that included both internal and external candidates, BP said. The stock rose before trading began.
Currently, Tyler serves as the chief executive officer of Irish manufacturer Crafton Group. He had been a non-executive director at BP since April 2025, without any operational duties, before becoming an interim board chairman in May of the same year. Earlier, BP had terminated its previous board chairman, Albert Manifold, immediately due to allegations of serious concerns regarding key corporate governance standards, oversight, and behavior. Manifold's sudden departure followed a series of leadership changes within the company.
