Presenters:
Paddy rejoined Shell at the end of 2006 as Head of our Global Leadership Development Practice, after a 13 year ‘sabbatical’ at McKinsey & Company where he was part of the Firm’s Organization Practice leadership group, with a focus on building organizations’ leadership and performance culture. Paddy established the McKinsey Leadership Institute Asia Pacific, supporting the Firm’s clients across the region. He was also jointly responsible for the global leadership development programs for McKinsey’s Partner group. Paddy’s first stint at Shell spanned 1984 to ’92, when he worked as a project engineer with Shell EP in NL, UK and Oman.
Paddy graduated with first-class honors in Engineering and Mathematics from Trinity College Dublin, and completed an MBA at INSEAD in France.
Beyond his professional interests, Paddy is passionate about many things: his partner Liz and their one year old daughter Rhiannon, his extended family and friends, mountaineering and sailing – he shares a one-design racing boat with friends.
