bp appoints former Shell CFO Simon Henry to board

LONDON - BP p.l.c. (LSE:NYSE:BP) announced Monday the appointment of Simon Henry as a non-executive director effective September 1, 2025.

Henry brings 35 years of experience from Shell, where he served as chief financial officer and board member from 2009 to 2017. During his career at Shell, he held various senior finance and management positions internationally.

"The board will benefit from his deep and broad experience of the global upstream and downstream energy industry and his financial and commercial understanding of global markets," said Helge Lund, chair of bp, in a press release statement.

Currently, Henry serves as a non-executive director at Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) plc and Rio Tinto Limited, roles he will step down from in the second half of 2025 as announced by Rio Tinto in February. Harbour Energy plc disclosed that Henry has stepped down from its board with immediate effect.

Within the past five years, Henry also resigned from director positions at Lloyds Banking Group (LON:LLOY) plc in September 2020 and PetroChina Ltd in May 2022.

The company also announced that Pamela Daley will step down from the bp board for personal reasons, effective today. Daley has served as a non-executive director for seven years.

"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Pam for her outstanding service over the past seven years," Lund added.
