Designation: GM Supply
Business: Supply
Company: Shell Indonesia
Location: Jakarta The first time I joined Shell was upon finalizing my bachelor’s thesis in June of 1995. In those days, readers of economics from University of Indonesia (like I am) have a tendency to join accounting firms and investment banks. So yes , I did compare Shell with offers from banks, but clearly I felt more ‘at home’ with Shell. A family friend worked for Shell and he encouraged me to join the company. Prior to that though, I had known about Shell because our family had lived in the Netherlands for a few years. I remember all my Dutch friends in The Hague complimented me when they learned that I was joining Shell. In their view, Shell only recruit the best people. It has been a long and interesting journey. In total, I have been in Shell for 12 years. Nearly half of that was spent in Lubricants, in Shell Indonesia and Shell UK Ltd, both in sales and marketing, in all the 3 class of markets: consumer, industry and transport. I was also in Shell International’s Business Development Consultancy (OMC) for Downstream for a year, before moving on to Shell Global Solutions for 3 years. I am now starting my third year in Supply. My experience in Shell - the different business units & roles I have worked in, the different countries I have lived, the different cultures I have encountered – have molded me to become a person who have a higher appreciation of the uniqueness of the cultures and the tremendous riches they brought. What makes Shell a great company to work for is the people. They have treated me as if I am already who they think I ought to be. By doing this , they have guided me to what I am capable of doing. Globally, Shell is known as one of the best employer. Shell is committed to grow its presence in Indonesia and therefore offer exciting career opportunities for Indonesians. Shell is a company full of talented people and have the required business width to continually challenge its people. |
