ANDY INGLIS JOINS BP BOARD AND SUCCEEDS TONY HAYWARD AS HEAD
OF EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION
The board of BP p.l.c. today announced that it has appointed Andy Inglis as a
managing director of the BP Group. He also succeeds Tony Hayward as chief
executive of BP's Exploration & Production (E&P) business. Both appointments are
with immediate effect.
Mr Inglis joined BP in 1980 and has held a number of E&P posts. He was most
recently deputy chief executive of E&P and a member of BP's Group Executive
team.
Commenting on the appointment, BP chairman Peter Sutherland said: 'I am pleased
to welcome Andy Inglis to the board. He will now be responsible for all of the
Group's E&P business. This will allow Tony Hayward, as Group CEO-designate, to
focus on the transition, working closely with John Browne in the period to the
end of July.'
Lord Browne said: 'Aside from his great strategic sense and business track
record, Andy brings deep technical strengths to the board. He is joining a
refreshed executive team which I expect to bring renewed momentum to BP's future
performance.'
