The boss of Shell’s Canadian operation will step down from her role by the end of the year.
Lorraine Mitchelmore has held the role of president for the company’s operations in the country for the past six years.
She has also led Shell’s oil business for the past three years.
Mitchelmore said she was stepping down from her role to spend more time wither her children.
Michael Crothers , currently vice president of unconventionals and North America for Shell, will take over the role from next year/
Mitchelmore said: “I appreciate that there is uncertainty in our business environment, but with our focus on improving economic and environmental competitiveness, I believe that both Shell and Canada’s energy industry are well-positioned to weather current headwinds and seize future opportunities.”
