Oil giant Shell has chosen a former mining executive who spent more than two decades at rival BP as it seeks to carve out a path less reliant on dirty energy.
The company said Sir Andrew Mackenzie, who was chief executive of miner BHP until 2019, will fill the role later this year.
The Glaswegian was already tipped as a potential new chairman when he joined Shell’s board in October last year.
He will replace Chad Holliday, who steps down in May after six years in the role.
I have nothing but confidence in Shell’s bright future
