He works with high integrity, embraces new technology and is able to recruit, motivate and develop a team." and "I worked for Ian for three years in bp’s Group FP&A team. We were responsible for annual and long-term financial planning processes and MI reporting for the executive team and the Board. Ian has a very wide range of experience across Upstream and Downstream in a variety of roles covering financial planning, MI reporting and control. His understanding of how the various bp businesses worked was a great asset in the Group role. Ian has an excellent understanding of accounting concepts and their implications for financial and MI reporting at the Group level. A good example is the expertise and leadership that Ian brought to the implementation of IFRS 16 lease accounting rules for Group financial and MI reporting, which was recognised externally as some of the clearest reporting in the industry. Ian embraced modernisation of Group Planning processes and reporting, implementing the use of Power BI reports and dashboards to communicate and distribute Group Planning reporting. He challenged many existing processes, hugely simplifying and improving them, which drove efficiency and created space for the generation of insights. Ian was a very supportive leader who challenged his team to develop our skills and knowledge, and created many opportunities for us to showcase our work and gain exposure to senior leaders. He was always generous with his time and knowledge and we have benefitted greatly from his leadership of the Group planning team. "
