When I was 18, I went to Delft University and I became a petroleum engineer, and I spent many years in Shell and, you know, getting involved with building things. And here I am, 28 years later, and I’m responsible for building all this stuff in Shell. So, you know, there couldn’t be a better way, I think, to give meaning to the way I was educated.
