Dick Olver
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dick Olver is Chairman of BAE Systems, the world's 4th largest aerospace and defence company.
Olver joined the company in this role on July 1, 2004. He replaces Sir Richard Evans, who had served with BAE Systems and its predecessor companies for over 30 years. Olver previously held the role of deputy chief-executive at BP, which he had joined in 1973.
Reports in 2005 have suggested that relations between the Olver and BAE's CEO Michael Turner are strained. These suggest that Olver has been involving himself in parts of the business which a Chairman traditionally hasn't.
Olver also serves on the board of directors of the Reuters news agency.
