BP’s New Chairman in Turbulent Waters | Business and Finance News

BP’s new interim chairman, Ian Tyler, steps into a turbulent leadership vacuum after three chairmen and multiple CEOs in just one year.

The stage is set for a high-stakes balancing act. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
