Shell said on Thursday Huibert Vigeveno, its director of Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions will step down after 30 years with the energy major, and be replaced by insider Machteld de Haan.
Vigeveno had headed the downstream and renewables operations since 2023 when Shell combined its renewable operations with its oil refining and marketing business as part of CEO Wael Sawan's internal restructuring.
De Haan, who has been executive vice president of Shell's chemicals and products business since 2023, will take on the role from Vigeveno on April 1.
The company also said Andrew Smith will be appointed head of Trading and Supply.
