BHP Australia boss in running to lead Woodside, Bloomberg reports

PERTH/MELBOURNE, March 8 (Reuters) - Global miner BHP’s BHP.AX Australia President Geraldine Slattery is among the contenders for the top job at Woodside Energy WDS.AX, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the situation.

Woodside is expected to name a replacement for Meg O’Neill soon, after she unexpectedly left the company in December to lead BP BP.L, a role she formally begins in April.

“As has been disclosed, Woodside’s Board intends to announce a permanent CEO appointment in the first quarter of 2026. We do not comment on market speculation,” a Woodside spokeswoman said, when asked whether Slattery had been formally interviewed for the role.

Acting CEO Liz Westcott and two other internal candidates are also in the running for the CEO job, said MST Marquee analyst Saul Kavonic.

BHP declined to comment and Slattery did not respond to a request for comment at the time of writing.

Slattery headed BHP's petroleum division before it was acquired by Woodside.
