Shell Names Sinead Gorman as CFO, Replacing Jessica Uhl

By Joe Hoppe

Shell PLC said Tuesday that it has named Sinead Gorman as its incoming chief financial officer, effective April 1, while current CFO Jessica Uhl will step down on March 31.

The energy major said Ms. Gorman is currently executive vice president of finance in its global upstream business. She began her career as a civil engineer before switching to finance on joining Shell in 1999, and has held increasingly senior finance roles in all of Shell's major businesses since then.

Shell said Ms. Uhl will be available to assist Ms. Gorman and management with the transition until June 30, after which she will leave the company.

"[Ms. Gorman] combines broad finance, trading, new business development and capital projects experience with a deep knowledge of Shell, and a strong commercial and external focus," Chairman Andrew Mackenzie said.
