CALGARY (CP) _ Shell Canada officially welcomed its new, interim leader Adrian Loader on Thursday, signalling a turnover of senior management as the corporation transitions from a public entity into a unit of its parent Royal Dutch Shell PLC.
Speculation about how the newly privatized company would be run – and by whom – was put to rest Thursday morning with internal and public communications releasing some details of the company‘s refit into Royal Dutch Shell‘s business model.
While some executives, notably oilsands vice president Brian Straub, will remain with the company, others will retire as Shell becomes integrated into its parent‘s global business units.
As the process is carried through, Shell‘s ongoing operations and capital investment projects will be “executed as well as they can possibly be,‘‘ Loader said.
“The one area which obviously shifts is the backdrop in which that culture is played out,‘‘ he said.
Loader replaces Clive Mather as president, but will be titled chair for the country under the new corporate structure where Shell Canada fits into Royal Dutch Shell‘s business units.
“The backdrop correctly and understandably for Shell Canada has been here in Canada, in the future that backdrop will be the world stage.‘‘
Loader flew into Calgary on Tuesday from Europe where he had headed Royal Dutch Shells‘ strategy and business development unit.
The veteran director will manage the transition process until the end of the year, when he expects to be replaced.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
