HOUSTON – Shell Lubricants North America has named Andrew Hepher as general manager, Business-to-Business (B2B). Hepher will join the lubricants marketer on Oct. 1, from Shell Energy Europe, where he is serving as vice president, Strategy & Portfolio. 
"I am delighted that we have attracted such top talent to join us in our growth journey,” said Steve Harman, vice president, Lubricants Americas. “Through his career, Andrew has demonstrated a passion for growing business and ensuring world-class service to customers. His experience in other markets will certainly aid in our efforts to further our Direct and Distributor relationships in the region.”
Hepher has had extensive experience in B2B sales in many different markets including the Americas.
