BG Group announced today changes to its Board and Group Executive Committee (GEC). These changes, effective immediately, will ensure BG Group continues to deliver its growth plans and will enhance succession planning at the Executive level.
BG Group Chairman Sir Robert Wilson said: “ I am delighted to welcome Chris to the Board. Chris brings over 35 years of technical and commercial experience in the oil and gas industry, which he gained in a variety of international settings and businesses. The Board will benefit greatly from his skills and experience .”
“ The creation of these three expanded Board level roles means we have an appropriate internal succession process underway, in addition to an external search, to replace Sir Frank Chapman when he retires as Chief Executive before the end of 2013 .”
BG Group Chief Executive Sir Frank Chapman said: “ These are important changes that will help us both to drive our business forward and to provide development opportunities as part of the succession process. I would like to express our gratitude to Jørn Berget for his unstinting effort in building BG Advance and wish him well ahead of his planned retirement in 2012 .”
