LONDON--Oil giant BP PLC has appointed the former chief of the U.K's secret intelligence service as a nonexecutive director, the company said Thursday.

John Sawers worked as the head of MI6 from 2009 to 2014 under two prime ministers, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. His appointment highlights the long-standing intersection of geopolitics and oil production, partly because of the location of large oil reserves in politically unstable regions. BP has significant interests in challenging political environments such as Iraq and Russia.

"I think global diplomatic experience is invaluable and always has been, " a spokesman for BP said, highlighting Mr. Sawers substantial experience in the field.

During his 36-year career with the British government, Mr. Sawers also worked as an ambassador to the U.N. and Cairo, special representative to Iraq, foreign-policy adviser to the prime minister and political director at the foreign office.

BP didn't disclose any details of Mr. Sawers' remuneration package, but according to the company's 2014 annual report, its nonexecutive directors can expect to earn upward of GBP150,000 a year in fees and benefits.
