Over a 35-year career in Shell worldwide, Frank has done several audit and compliance jobs such as being a Chief Audit Executive in Shell Nigeria and Sakhalin (Russian Federation) and Global Vice President for Ethics and Compliance of Shell’s Upstream activities outside the Americas. He was the first Finance Manager for Malampaya during its early stages. While not a CPA, Frank was able to lead audit organizations since in Shell, internal audit is business process centered: all company activities- including technical, commercial, IT and Management activities- are potentially subject to internal audit review. His team had finance, petroleum engineering, contracting, procurement and human resources backgrounds and he believes that these are essential skills to perform process audits outside of finance.

In Nigeria, Frank led the implementation of a whistleblowing system that was later used as a model for Shell’s global helpline. While based there, and together with KPMG staff, he piloted an Environmental Data review. Frank is a seasoned auditor and has been on both sides of the Board room table: as a Board member and Audit Executive. His passion for ethics, integrity and a corporate culture of respect are considered central to him.

Retired and married to a Filipina, Frank lives in Manila and is a Teaching Fellow at the Institute of Corporate Directors where he was also a Trustee. He does consulting work and this leaves him enough time to spend with his children and grandchildren, who live in different continents.
