Royal Dutch Shell’s top executive planning the integration of BG Group will become transitional CEO of BG after expected completion of the $48 billion acquisition next month, company sources said.
The appointment of Dutchman Huibert Vigeveno to oversee the complex merger of the two global businesses comes as no surprise.
Vigeveno was appointed last August to spearhead the joint Shell-BG integration committee along with BG’s Sinead Lynch, and had previously headed Shell’s operations in China and had also worked for the Anglo-Dutch company in Brazil, two key markets for the combined group.
