BP Ousts Chair Albert Manifold Citing Governance, Conduct Issues

BP has ousted Chair Albert Manifold with immediate effect, it said on Tuesday; the company cited governance and conduct issues, with four sources alleging aggressive and unacceptable behaviour towards colleagues.

A BP spokesperson declined to give further details. Reuters could not immediately reach Manifold for a comment.

In less than eight months since he took office to help oversee a strategy revamp, Manifold's departure follows scandal and repeated leadership changes at BP. Less than three years ago, former BP CEO Bernard Looney was fired after lying to the board about personal relationships with colleagues.
