Shell plc has appointed Germán Burmeister as senior vice-president and country chair for Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, effective Aug. 1.
In Argentina, Shell plans to invest $500 million in 2024 to sustain and expand its operations in Vaca Muerta, where it has already invested $3.5 billion over a little more than a decade.
Over his 23-year career with Shell, Burmeister has held commercial, strategic, and managerial roles across Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Most recently, he served as senior vice-president and country chair in Kazakhstan.
