BP Leadership Shake-up Continues as Trading Chief Carol Howle Retires

Sam Skerry, previously head of mergers and acquisitions, will step into the role of overseeing supply, trading, and shipping. Skerry takes control of a high-stakes trading division that recently bolstered the company’s bottom line during regional market volatility. The transition comes on the heels of Meg O'Neill’s appointment as CEO in April and the removal of chairman Albert Manifold, who continues to contest the board's decision regarding his conduct.

Howle leaves after 26 years with the firm, having served as interim CEO before assuming the deputy role in April. Her departure leaves a gap in the leadership team currently navigating a comprehensive portfolio review. Additionally, BP confirmed that Sonya Adams will transition from her role as chief of staff to lead the company's people and culture functions.
