Shell Canada president stepping down

The head of Royal Dutch Shell’s Canadian operations is leaving her job at the end of this year, saying she wants to spend more time with her two daughters.

Lorraine Mitchelmore has been Shell Canada’s president and country chair for past six years and has led the global energy giant’s heavy oil business for three.

Michael Crothers, now vice-president of unconventionals and North America for Shell, will be the company’s next leader in Canada starting Jan. 1.

Shell recently scrapped its Carmon Creek oilsands project and opened a major carbon capture and storage project northeast of Edmonton.
