Cutting oil and gas production is not healthy, says Shell boss Wael Sawan [1]

['Emily Gosden', 'Emma Powell']

Date: 2023-05

Wael Sawan, who was thrust into the spotlight last month as he unveiled the highest profits in Shell’s 115-year history, is comfortable taking the flak that comes with the job

It has been two months since Wael Sawan became the first non-European chief executive of Europe’s biggest oil and gas company. “I still pinch myself at the fact that I am the CEO of Shell,” says Sawan, a Lebanese-Canadian citizen who began his career with the group 25 years ago.

“When I joined, there weren’t many Middle Easterners in the company, let alone Middle Easterners at executive level.” The top job, he says, was “never something I wanted to entertain because I didn’t believe it was possible and I didn’t think that I was the best of the best”.
