Asiatic Petroleum Company,renamed The Shell Petroleum Company Ltd. in January 1946Directors appointed 1903-1946

At first Asiatic did not have a formal chairman. Meetings were chaired by the most senior

director present, initially Marcus Samuel. The company was also unique in having a board

conSisting solely of directors, of whom Samuel, Lane, and Deterding formed an executive com-

mittee to take care of the daily affairs, Deterding being designated managing director. This ap-

pears to have changed following the Group's purchase of the Rothschild interest in 1918. The

executive committee disappeared and the register of directors named Walter Samuel as chair-

man and Deterding as sole managing director. From 1928 these distinctions were dropped as

well, and the register only lists the company's directors. General managing directors of Royal

Dutch and chairmen of Shell Transport are marked with an asterisk - see the appropriate list

above for their dates in office.

Royal Dutch/Shell GroupCommittee of Managing Directors:

Chairmen 1946-2005

Identifying asterisks for the general managing director/president of Royal Dutch or the chair-

man of Shell Transport are not used in this list since all chairmen of the CMD were the leader

of one company or the other. As a rule one of them was the chairman of the CMD and the

Conference, and the other their vice-chairman. For the dates in office of the following as either

general managing director/president of Royal Dutch or chairman of Shell Transport, see the

appropriate list above. In October 2004, the CMD was replaced by an Executive Committee

with Jeroen van der Veer as Chief Executive and the other former CMD members as members.

Members of the CMD who were also either the general managing director/president-general

of Royal Dutch or the chairman of Shell Transport are marked with an asterisk. For their dates
