Background

About Michael Turley

I’m a project leader with 10+ years’ experience delivering complex, high-value energy projects across Shell’s global operations. I have led large brownfield project portfolios and helped pioneer Shell’s blue hydrogen strategy, linking technical delivery to business value. Recognized internationally (IChemE Global Young Industrialist of the Year), I combine deep operational expertise with a focus on enterprise growth and energy transition leadership. Recently, I have expanded into business strategy and systems-level thinking through programs at INSEAD and TU Delft, as part of a broader pivot toward commercial and strategic leadership roles. I am passionate about helping organizations grow sustainably through the energy transition — connecting operational excellence, customer value, and strategic decision-making. Outside work, I enjoy snowboarding, studying Japanese language and culture, and playing the piano.
