BP Appoints First Female CEO, Meg O'Neill
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
BP appoints Meg ONeill as new CEO, marking a significant leadership change for the global energy giant. ONeill, the first female leader of a major oil company, joins from Woodside Energy Group and brings over two decades of experience from Exxon Mobil. The appointment follows pressure from activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which has been pushing for BP to refocus on its core oil and gas business. ONeill is set to begin her new role in April, with Carol Howle serving as interim CEO until then. The market reacted favorably to the news, with BP shares seeing a modest increase, signaling investor confidence in the new direction.
