Irish oil and gas exploration company San Leon Energy has named former PricewaterhouseCooper tax partner Linda Beal as a non-executive director. The appointment of Beal, who was previously the head of PwC’s international practice, is understood to be part of an effort by the firm to diversify its business away from advising on tax. After leaving PwC, Beal was the global leader for energy and natural resources at Grant Thornton until June 2016.
