Wael Sawan
CEO Sawan, known for his disciplined and profit-driven approach, will pivot Shell away from non-profitable renewable projects, focusing on short-term profits by ramping up oil production.
Sawan, the first non-Dutch or Anglo CEO of Shell, receives mixed reviews for his shift away from renewables; some see it as beneficial for short-term gains, while others worry about long-term impacts.
Sawan's deep experience at Shell and clear, decisive communication style are praised, but concerns remain about his selective listening and the future diversification of Shell's portfolio.
