Equinor is making a planned change to the leadership of Exploration.

Tim Dodson will step down as executive vice president Exploration, a role he held since 2011, and take on the role as vice president Strategy Execution in Global Strategy and Business Development (GSB) from 1 June 2020.

Tore Løseth has been appointed acting executive vice president of Exploration and will join the corporate executive committee (CEC) in this capacity.

“I take this opportunity to thank Tim for his long-standing contribution to corporate leadership and the Executive Committee of Equinor. I’m glad we can continue to capitalize on Tim’s deep experience and broad understanding of Equinor in his new role in the GSB strategy team and I wish him all the best,” says CEO Eldar Sætre.

“At the same time, I welcome Tore to the CEC. He brings strong leadership and international experience to the team, and I look forward to working with Tore in his new role,” Sætre says.
