BP (BP) activist shareholder Elliott Investment Management wants a new person to head the company's strategy and succeed Giulia Chierchia, who leads its strategy, sustainability, and ventures arm, Reuters reported Friday, citing a source familiar with the situation.
The New York-based hedge fund, which has a stake of over 5% in BP, also wants the company to return to a structure with separate upstream and downstream units in order to improve accountability, the source said.
BP and Elliott did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
