UK: BP appoints Ian Tyler president after management crisis

Euronews Portugal2 September 2026 at 09:43

British energy giant BP announced the appointment of Ian Tyler as permanent chairman of the company. Tyler takes office after a period of instability in the company's leadership.

The appointment follows the abrupt dismissal of Tyler's predecessor, who was removed from the position in May. The dismissal was motivated by concerns related to the executive's governance and conduct.

Tyler will face the challenge of rebuilding confidence in BP's leadership after the crisis that shook the management of the British energy sector company.
