Audi must work with Volkswagen to restructure business, CFO says - Reuters

HOUSTON — Chevron Chief Financial Officer Eimear Bonner will become president of its oil, products and gas business, the company said on Monday. Jeff Gustavson, currently president of Chevron’s new energies business, will succeed Bonner as CFO. Both moves are effective January 1. The executive reshuffle comes as the second-largest US oil major is preparing for CEO Mike Wirth to hand over the reins. In December, Wirth said he was in discussions with the board about succession planning and did not expect to serve more than 10 years in the role. Bonner and Gustavson are both seen as potential candidates for CEO, several investors have told Reuters. Wirth has led the company for more than eight years.
