Moscow, September 1 (Interfax) – Shell has replaced the head of its Russia office, Chris Finlayson, with Charles Watson, former managing director at Shell Energy Europe, effective September 1, the company said.
Watson will also chair the board of directors at Sakhalin Energy. Finlayson will take up office as executive vice president of Shell Global Solutions Upstream after a four year stint as executive vice president for Russia and the Caspian region.
Watson’s remit will include Shell’s operations in strategic regions. The position used to cover operations in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, but Ukraine was added in the summer.
Watson had served at Shell Energy Europe, which oversees gas production and renewable energy in Europe, Russia and Central Asia, since November 2007.

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.
