BP appoints new non-executive directors
Helge
Lund and Pamela Daley today joined the board of BP plc as
non-executive directors.
On 26
April BP announced that Helge Lund would join the board as a
non-executive director on 1 September, becoming chairman on 1
January 2019 when Carl-Henric Svanberg steps down. Mr Lund has been
able now to join the board earlier; this will not affect the timing
of his succession to chairman.
Pamela

She spent most of her career with the General Electric Company
(GE), holding roles including senior advisor to the chairman and
senior vice president of corporate business development,
responsible for global mergers, acquisitions and divestment
activities. She is a director of BlackRock, Inc. and SecureWorks,
Inc. and was previously a director of BG Group plc and Patheon
N.V.
BP
chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg commented: "Pamela's extensive
experience in international business development, transactions and
corporate strategy at a global level make her a superb addition to
BP's board. And I am pleased that Helge has been able to join the
board earlier than first expected. I look forward to working with
them both through my remaining time on the board."

2013 she was Senior Vice President of Corporate Business
