BP has realigned its senior executive team. Lamar McKay has been named to the new position of deputy group CEO. Mr. McKay, a 35-year veteran of BP, has been the CEO of the company’s upstream segment since 2013. He has been a member of the executive team since 2008.

Mr. McKay will be succeeded by Bernard Looney, who currently serves as the COO of production in the upstream segment, a position he has held since 2013. Mr. Looney joined BP in 1991 as a drilling engineer, holding roles in the North Sea, Vietnam and the Gulf of Mexico. He joined the executive team in 2010.
