Non-executive director George David bought more than £800,000 of shares in BP yesterday, the oil giant announced today.
He bought 30,000 American Depositary Receipts (ADS), which is equivalent to 180,000 ordinary BP shares. He paid $43.99 each for half of the ADSs and $43.98 for the other half.
David, an American, joined BP in 2008. He is a member of the chairman's, the audit, the Gulf of Mexico and the remuneration committees. He has previously worked with management consultant The Boston Consulting Group and elevator manufacturer Otis. Following Otis's merger with UTC in 1977, he moved up the ranks, becoming chief executive in 1994 and chairman in 1997, before he retired in 2009.
