Ollila comes out of his Shell
Jorma Ollila, Royal Dutch Shell’s chairman, may joke about being a "modest, down-to-earth Finn", but his record at Nokia gives him great credentials as a thinker on technology and strategy.
I spoke to him at his office in the Hague, for his first interview since taking the job, and we have put further quotes from what was a long and wide-ranging interview here. One striking quote: "I think it’s a believable scenario that in 2050, renewables will form 30 per cent of the energy source for mankind." What is more, he added, they could be 30 per cent of Shell’s business too.
