General Summary:
Terry is a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Beginning his career at the Royal Dutch Shell group in Canada after graduating from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Business, he advanced through 14 different roles that solidified his expertise in marketing, logistics, supply, refining, and business strategy. In 2004, he transitioned from his North American roots, where he was leading a marketing business with $6 billion in annual revenues, to spearhead Shell's expansion into China's downstream market following the country's entry into the WTO. His international experience spans Canada, China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. Terry has been deeply involved in business strategy, development, operations, and executive coaching. Notably, his team's growth efforts in China earned a Shell global award in 2006. For the past decade, he has dedicated himself to developing higher-quality global leadership in Asia, coaching over 100 senior leaders across various industries.

He successfully created more resilient and profitable retail businesses across Asia, developed the organic growth strategy for Shell China, and initiated a major joint venture with Sinopec. These achievements contributed to his team's recognition with a Shell global award in 2006. In 2007, he founded his independent business consultancy, providing expertise in downstream oil and chemicals markets and offering portfolio shaping advice to industry players and investment banks. In 2011, he expanded his professional scope into executive coaching, focusing on developing global leadership in Asia and working with general managers, country-level executives in China, and APAC regional heads.

Cultural Sensitivities - Over the course of 5 years I did coaching engagements for a major global auto company, that involved working with foreign mid and senior level leaders now working in China. Many of them were deep in technical expertise, but this was their first posting to Asia, where many found working with local talents whom were less experienced and seeking greater direction, was a significant challenge. My role was to help leaders understand the depths of the cultural differences, how to avoid the stumbles, and become a more highly engaged and influential leader of their teams.
Global Outlook - when developing strategy, most businesses tend to omit strategic thinking and move quickly into developing a business plan filled with activities and expected contributions. They fail to understand their industry structure and behavior, competitive benchmarking and reactions, and even the fundamentals of a differentiated value proposition. Too focused inside the fence and on present day as opposed to continuous scanning of the external world, and putting into a future frame, I have worked with numerous clients on bringing global perspective and big picture thinking into their strategic planning.
Strategic Vision - I have worked with numerous clients in helping them define their vision and strategy for their China business. One of the most notable clients involved working with the China leadership team of a global pharmaceutical company, and over the course of 1 year of working together, defined the vision for the China business, the core elements of their strategy, and what must change to achieve their outcome. The first time with this company was in 2012, and I was invited to return in 2019 to repeat this process with a new crop of leaders in the same company.
Driving Organizational Change - When I worked for Shell Canada, the retail business was threatened with disruption by big box and mass market retailers getting into gasoline retailing.
