Royal Dutch Shell Plc said second-quarter profits doubled thanks to high oil prices and bigger than expected restructuring gains and unveiled a plan to boost asset sales, echoing a plan from rival BP. REUTERS/Toby Melville said on Tuesday Jessica Uhl has resigned as its finance chief after five years in the role and will be replaced by Sinead Gorman.
Uhl, a U.S. citizen and "a key architect" of Shell's recent strategic changes, is leaving the group due to family reasons and because a long-term relocation to the United Kingdom is not possible, Shell said. Shell ditched "Royal Dutch" from its name in January after moving its headquarters to Britain from the Netherlands.
Gorman, a British national who is currently the executive vice-president, finance, in Shell's global upstream business, will assume the role on April 1 and will be based in London, after Uhl steps down at the end of this month. The changes at top management also comes a day after Shell said it will exit all its Russian operations, including a major liquefied natural gas plant, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.Reporting by Yadarisa Shabong in Bengaluru; Editing by Sherry Jacob-Phillips
