BP Appoints Ian Tyler as Permanent Chair After Albert Manifold's Dismissal
BP has appointed Ian Tyler as its permanent chair following the unexpected dismissal of Albert Manifold in May over governance concerns. Tyler, who joined BP's board last year and served as interim chair, is expected to lead the board's evolution amid recent leadership changes. Senior independent director Amanda Blanc will step down next year. CEO Meg O'Neill, appointed in April, is reshaping BP by selling low-returning assets and streamlining operations, supported by favorable market conditions due to geopolitical tensions.
