LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell on Thursday announced Andrew Mackenzie, a former BHP CEO and BP veteran, as its next chairman who will help lead the energy company through a major shift away from oil and gas to low-carbon energy.
Mackenzie will succeed Charles Holliday who will step down on May 18 after serving six years in the role.
Mackenzie, who left BHP Group last year after serving as CEO of the mining group from 2013 to 2019, joined Shell's board in October 2020.
Before that he worked at Rio Tinto for three years following a 22-year career in BP, where he held senior roles in oil and gas exploration, research and development and chemicals.
