March 12 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europes largest oil company, said it proposed Simon Henry to become the companys new chief financial officer as of May 1, replacing Peter Voser, who will become chief executive officer on July 1.
Henry, 47, is now executive vice-president for finance in Shells international exploration and production division, the company said in a statement distributed by PR Newswire today. He is a U.K. citizen who joined Shell in 1982 as an engineer at a U.K. refinery, and has held senior finance positions in Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, according to the statement.
Shell, based in The Hague, said in October Chief Executive Officer Jeroen van der Veer would step down June 30 and be replaced by Chief Financial Officer Peter Voser.
Van der Veer took over in 2004 and restored investor confidence following a reserves restatement that led to regulatory fines, shareholder lawsuits and the ouster of the companys top three executives, including then-chairman Phil Watts. The scandal prompted Shell to reorganize its corporate and management structure and step up spending on exploration.
The company is betting on unconventional projects such as the gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar and the mining of oil sands in Canada to revive production growth.

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.
