Shell announced changes to its executive committee in a statement posted on its website this week.“We have made significant progress against our previously announced plan to integrate the technical divisions, that today make up our Projects and Technology organization, into our business lines,” the company said in the statement.
“This simplification will empower our businesses by bringing these technical capabilities closer to where we generate value and progress our journey to improve cost competitiveness of the organization,” it added.Shell noted in its statement that, “as a result of the progress” it has made, Robin Mooldijk, President, Projects and Technology, “will step down after 35 years of distinguished service with Shell, effective 28 February 2026”. The company stated that, following Mooldijk’s departure, Shell’s Executive Committee “will reduce in size from nine to eight members”.Shell highlighted that the changes announced in its statement do not affect its financial reporting segments, which it pointed out remain Integrated Gas, Upstream, Marketing, Chemicals and Products, Renewables and Energy Solutions, and Corporate.“I am grateful to Robin for his significant contribution to Shell throughout his career,” Shell CEO Wael Sawan said in the statement.
“Before joining the Executive Committee, he led the transformation of Shell’s refining strategy, combining our Refining and Chemicals businesses into a single Chemicals and Products organization, bringing our customers and assets closer together and strengthening our already successful integration with Shell Trading,” he added.
