据美国油价网9月15日报道，英国能源巨头壳牌公司周四宣布，首席执行官本·范伯登将于2022年底卸任，现任壳牌综合天然气、可再生能源和能源解决方案总监的魏思旺将于2023年1月1日成为其下一任首席执行官。
据英国《金融时报》报道，去年5月，苏格兰商人、必和必拓前首席执行官安德鲁·麦肯齐爵士就任壳牌公司董事长后，范伯登的离职准备工作就开始了。
两位不愿透露姓名的消息人士告诉路透社，壳牌董事会继任委员会今年夏天就范伯登的离职和潜在继任者举行了几次会议。
他们最终决定由壳牌综合天然气、可再生能源和能源解决方案总监魏思旺于2023年1月1日接任首席执行官。
“魏思旺去年被任命为该集团综合天然气和可再生能源业务的负责人，这在内部被视为一个迹象，表明他正在接受最高职位的培训。”英国《金融时报》指出。
麦肯齐爵士在谈到任命时表示，他是一位杰出的领导者，具有“战略清晰性”和对壳牌和能源行业的“深刻理解”，拥有推动壳牌安全、盈利地度过下一个转型和增长阶段所需的“所有品质”。
魏思旺表示：“我期待着引导我们优秀的员工以开拓精神和充沛激情去迎接巨大的挑战，抓住能源转型带来的机遇。”
麦肯齐爵士说，“即将卸任的首席执行官范伯登可以非常自豪地回顾自己在壳牌39年的非凡职业生涯”，并补充说，“在过去的十年中，范伯登一直是壳牌到2050年实现净零排放能源业务转型的先锋”。

Shell’s Renewable Director Steps Up As New CEO
British energy giant Shell announced Thursday that CEO Ben van Beurden will step down at the end of 2022 and that his successor will be the company's renewables director.
FT reported preparations for van Beurden's departure began last May when Scottish businessman and former CEO of BHP Billiton Sir Andrew Mackenzie became Shell's chair.
Two unnamed sources told Reuters that Shell's board succession committee met several times this summer about Beurden's departure and potential successors.
They picked Wael Sawan, Shell's director of integrated gas, renewables, and energy solutions, to lead the company on Jan. 1.
"Sawan's appointment last year as head of the group's integrated gas and renewables business was viewed internally as a sign he was being groomed for the top job," FT noted.
Mackenzie commented on Sawan's appointment by saying he "is an exceptional leader, with all the qualities needed to drive Shell safely and profitably through its next phase of transition and growth."
Sawan said: "I'm looking forward to channeling the pioneering spirit and passion of our incredible people to rise to the immense challenges, and grasp the opportunities presented by the energy transition."
The outgoing CEO "can look back with great pride on an extraordinary 39-year Shell career," Mackenzie said, adding, over the last decade, van Beurden "has been in the vanguard for the transition of Shell to a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050."
