Helge Lund
Helge Lund has served as the chair of BP since 2019, playing a crucial role in the company's strategic direction during a tumultuous period marked by executive changes and evolving market conditions. He was instrumental in appointing former CEO Bernard Looney and overseeing BP's response to recent scandals, including Looney's dismissal. As BP faces pressure from activist investors, Lund's leadership is seen as pivotal in navigating the company's future amidst calls for strategic divestments and a potential shift away from its climate goals.
