Dan is passionate about innovation from data & analytics (a recurring theme throughout his career) but also has extensive experience in business process design and improvement, business transformation, and large system (SAP) implementation.
He began his working life as an Accenture consultant working in their Upstream practice before joining Shell in 2008, performing a variety of roles in SAP implementation programmes, the Group CIO office and in architecture. Led the Advanced Analytics CoE within TaCIT innovation from its formation in 2013, growing the team from nothing to around 80 people. The Advanced Analytics CoE now has active projects in most parts of the Shell group and has shown significant value from projects which are now publicly referenced – in particular, spare part inventory optimization, carbon capture and storage (CCS) monitoring and subsurface analog identification.
