RISING STARS: GCS OF TOMORROW

Susannah Collier won wider recognition from external peers. As Shell moves its focus towards the renewables industry, Collier has effectively transitioned out of an oil and gas background into having a good technical grasp of renewables in a short space of time. She was also heavily involved in Shell’s successful bid for Borssele III and IV offshore windfarms in the Netherlands and its acquisition of First Utility in the UK. Eversheds Sutherland partner Michelle Davies comments: ‘Collier is very well liked across her team and is seen as an embodiment of the best of Shell’s wider corporate values. She’s been successful in attracting some of the best of Shell’s in-house talent into her team as it has grown. She also speaks passionately and knowledgeably about the business drivers within Shell’s strategy.’
