Robert Riley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, bp Trinidad and Tobago has announced the appointment of Sheldon Daniel to the position of Vice President, External Affairs (formerly Government and Public Affairs) effective July 5, 2004.

From 2001-2002 Mr Daniel was Senior Advisor and Research Analyst to the GPA team and had primary responsibility for coordinating and supporting country-risk analysis for the BP Group.

At that time he also provided input into the deployment of the bpTT’s social responsibility plans, thereby making the company’s brand and commercial offer more aligned with the country’s developmental needs. Daniel is the holder of a BSc in Government from the University of the West Indies, St Augustine; and M Phil from the University of Cambridge in Sociology and Politics of Development and an MSc in Development Studies from UWI, Mona; and has an MBA from the IOB, UWI.
