LONDON (Dow Jones)–Sakhalin Energy’s chief executive, Ian Craig, is to head Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s (RDSB.LN) embattled Africa unit, with the incumbent moving to the firm’s Australian business, according to an email Friday, as the oil major’s corporate shakeup continues.
In comments sent to Dow Jones Newswires via the Shell press office, Ann Pickard, Shell’s current vice president for exploration and production in Africa, said: “Major changes take place in Shell’s leadership, and after four exciting years running our upstream business in Africa, I will look after our gas and oil production in Australia.”
