For 18 years, our Principal was Shell's signatory on the technical specifications of the high value additives packages and other small volume additives from the "Big Four" of Afton Chemical, Chevron Oronite, Infineum and Lubrizol.
He led and worked in multi-functional teams defining and implementing Procurement and Supply Chain strategies to support Shell Lubricants' enormous growth during the 21st Century: doubling market share in a growing global market. For most of that time Shell's annual Lubricants additives spend exceeded US$1 billion.
He delivered against his Accountability through an annual appraisal target of "no customer incidents due to weak purchase specifications."
