Shell Oman’s appointment of Lamees Al Lawati as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) makes her the first Omani female to occupy that role in the history of Oman’s downstream industry.

As CFO, she will become a member of Shell Oman’s Executive Management Team and will lead key finance functions along with Legal, Contracts and Procurement and IT.

Al Lawati started her career with Shell more than 15 years ago in finance after graduating from Sultan Qaboos University. Since then, she has held several increasingly senior finance roles at Shell in both downstream and upstream sectors covering Information Management, Treasury, Controllers, Internal Audit and JV Management.

Recently, she completed a secondment in Shell group as Finance Manager of a Shell Joint Venture in addition to being a senior member of Shell Development Oman’s Finance Leadership Team.
