LONDON (Alliance News) - BG Group PLC Monday said Helge Lund has joined the company as chief executive with immediate effect, which is earlier than originally planned after he reached an agreement with his former employer.
Previously, the company said Lund would join the company on March 2, but following an agreement between Lund and his former employer, he has now joined the company earlier than expected.
The agreement was reached between Lund and Norwegian state-owned energy company Statoil ASA, where he was the chief executive.
Andrew Gould, who was serving as interim chief executive has now returned to his role as non-executive chairman.
BG Group shares were up 0.6% to 940.90 pence per share on Monday morning.
