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.
