Tom Bergin

Tom Bergin is a former oil broker turned energy industry reporter for Reuters whose book, SPILLS AND SPIN: THE INSIDE STORY OF BP, is the explosive account of how Britain’s largest company used slick communications to mask a flawed business model and how, after causing America’s worst ever oil spill, management turned in on itself.

Tom’s book, published by Random House in July 2011, is based on his unique access to key figures involved in the disaster, including former BP CEO Tony Hayward, and other sources built up during two decades following the company.

Tom has also reported on financial crime, terrorism, the global economy and international relations, from over 20 countries across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America. His work has been translated into over a dozen languages and published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune, the London Times, Canada’s Globe and Mail, the Shanghai Daily and dozens of newspapers and magazines around the world. He is a regular television and radio commentator, appearing on CNBC, ITV, the BBC and other outlets as far away as New Zealand.

Tom has written extensively about, and is available to speak on, the energy industry and international energy relations, the environment, financial crime and Ireland, his native country.
