LONDON (Reuters) -Shell has appointed Greg Joiner to head its Shell (LON:RDSa) Energy unit which oversees renewable generation, gas and power marketing, as part of a broader reshuffle of the trading division.
Joiner's appointment, which follows the departure of veteran executive Steve Hill last week, will take effect on April 1, Shell said in a statement to Reuters on Tuesday.
Joiner currently heads Shell Energy's European business.
Tom Summers will continue to head Shell's liquefied natural gas (LNG) trading business, the world's largest, and will report to head of trading Andrew Smith starting April 1.
David Wells will remain head of power, gas and environmental products trading and also report to Smith, Shell said.
Shell is the world's largest LNG trader, accounting for nearly 17% of global LNG trading volumes of 404 million metric tons in 2023, according to company data.
