Bjorn Edlund and Royal Dutch Shell

By John Donovan

Late yesterday evening, I sent an email to Mr Michiel Brandjes, Company Secretary and General Counsel Corporate, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and to the CEO of the company, Mr Peter Voser.

The email invited comment and correction in relation to a draft article focused on Bjorn Edlund (above right), who in February 2010 retired as Executive Vice President and Head of Group Communications at Royal Dutch Shell plc.

The draft article headline and content was critical in nature.

Under the circumstances, I also sent an email to Mr Edlund with the same invitation. He provided an initial response taking up the invitation and has now provided a substantive reply from his consultancy Bjorn Edlund Consulting. read more

(EXTRACT RELATING TO SHELL)

Royal Dutch Shell has gone Nordic again, this time to fill its top communications job. Björn Edlund from the Swiss-Swedish engineering group ABB will become vice-president for media and communications on October 1. The Swede’s appointment, filling a plum vacancy in European corpcomms, follows Shell’s choice of a Finn, Nokia chief executive Jorma Ollila, as chairman from June next year.

Edlund will be reunited with chief financial officer Peter Voser, another ABB alumnus who came back to Shell in 2004. In charge of external and internal communications, he will report to Roxanne Decyk, head of a new corporate affairs directorate. read more
