He will replace Claire Fitzpatrick who has led bpTT’s operations since 2018. Fitzpatrick, the release explained will be moving to the United Kingdom to take up a new leadership role at bp’s London headquarters.

The company said, “In this role, David will be accountable for the safe delivery and growth of the business in Trinidad and Tobago. David joins bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) having spent the last 8 years in the position of president bp Russia.”

Campbell has been employed with bp for 38 years in different commercial, operational and technical leadership roles.
