Britain's Most Admired No 3: Royal Dutch Shell, Peter Voser
By MT Staff Wednesday, 24 November 2010
Having been FD since 2005, Swiss-born Voser was the shareholders' choice when he took over at Europe's largest oil business in January 2009.
Despite his low profile, he has not disappointed his supporters, reorganising Shell to take advantage of high-growth markets like liquefied natural gas and selling off underperforming assets. Third-quarter profits were up 18% this year to $3.5bn, while returns of 10% look pretty good in an industry where minus figures are all too common.
