International aviation fuel products and services supplier Air bp has appointed Daniel Tyzack as managing director, Asia Pacific, effective immediately. Tyzack will be responsible for operations in the Asia Pacific region as well as strategy development and execution. He will be based at Air bp's Melbourne, Australia, office reporting to CEO Jon Platt.

Born and educated in Australia, Tyzack joined the BP Group in 1994 on the graduate training programme. He brings 25 years of highly valuable and relevant fuels experience from key roles in operations, sales and strategy in Australia as well as pricing, supply and commercial roles in Europe. He has excellent commercial skills and a strong focus on ethics and compliance. He offers particular expertise in supply chain management and is experienced in managing diverse teams across large geographies, which will prove particularly beneficial as Air bp continues to grow its business across the Asia Pacific region.
