- Meg O’Neill has been appointed as the new CEO of BP, succeeding Murray Auchincloss, who is stepping down after less than two years in the role. O’Neill, currently with Woodside Energy, will make history as BP’s first female chief executive, starting her tenure in April 2026.
- This leadership change is significant for BP as it marks a pivotal moment in the company's governance, potentially influencing its strategic direction and corporate culture under O’Neill’s leadership, especially in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
- The appointment comes at a time when BP, along with Woodside and Chevron, has recently achieved notable success in the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas auction, highlighting the competitive positioning of these companies in the energy sector and the importance of strong leadership in navigating future challenges.
