Shell’s organizational chart is structured with a clear hierarchy starting at the top with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who oversees the overall strategic direction and operations of the company. Directly reporting to the CEO are several Executive Committee members, including heads of key functions such as Upstream, Downstream, Integrated Gas and New Energies, and Finance. Each of these functional leaders manages their respective divisions and reports back to the CEO. At the third level, there are regional and business unit leaders who oversee operations in specific geographic areas or product lines, ensuring local execution of Shell’s global strategies. The fourth level consists of department managers and team leaders responsible for more specialized functions within each business unit, managing day-to-day activities and supporting the broader objectives set by senior leadership. This hierarchical structure enables Shell to maintain a balance between centralized strategic control and regional operational flexibility.
