Ms. Cox worked for BP Plc for 28 years, from 1981 to 2009, serving in a variety of posts in Britain and continental Europe ranging from finance to supply to renewable energy. Her two most recent posts were as executive vice president and chief executive of BP’s Gas, Power & Renewables business and then its Alternative Energy unit.

Ms. Cox is a graduate of the University of Oxford, where she earned a BSc and an MSc in chemistry, and the graduate business school INSEAD.

She currently serves as non-executive board chair of Climate Change Capital Ltd., an investment and advisory group specialising in opportunities generated by moves to a low-carbon economy. She is also non-executive director of mining company Rio Tinto Plc, the U.K. Department for International Development, and Vallourec, which supplies tubular systems for the energy industry.
