I joined Shell as a lateral hire when the Retail business was setting up here. It was an amazing exposure to work in a start-up environment nicely nestled in a 100-year-old company. Business school surely equipped me with the knowledge I needed, but it was Shell that entrusted me to learn new skills and broaden my horizons. If you are ready for a challenge, Shell will provide you with the platform to succeed.
