Ward would bring 15 years’ experience in human resources and organisation development roles to the position. She has spent the last eight years in charge of BP’s global capability development and prior to that worked with Prudential.

Supporting our people to be their best is a critical responsibility and commitment we must deliver on as an organisation,” he said.
