I work for Shell International Ltd. and I am the Chief Climate Change Adviser for Shell, working in the Shell scenarios team. I joined Shell in 1980 after graduating as a Chemical Engineer from the University of Adelaide in Australia. I have worked in refinery technology, oil trading and shipping areas for Shell.
I am a board member of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), was Chairman of IETA from 2011-2013 and I am also a board member of C2ES in Washington.
