The executive team, led by Chief Executive Officer Greg Joiner, is responsible for the Shell Energy business in Australia.
Drawing on collective decades of energy experience, the team guides our 350-plus people to deliver on our growth strategy and support the rapidly changing needs of our customers.
CEO Shell Energy Australia
Greg has held several roles within Shell over the last three decades that have prepared him for the challenge of leading Shell’s ambitions in new energies and power in Australia.
Initially working within Shell’s downstream retail and commercial marketing businesses, Greg played a key role in the establishment of Pulse Energy – the company’s early 2000s entry into electricity and gas retailing.
Greg subsequently held leadership roles in Shell’s Global Commercial division in both Singapore and London across strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and general management of regional and global business units.
He returned to Australia (Perth) in 2013 to head upstream business development and the role of Shareholder Representative for Shell’s interests in Arrow Energy in 2015.
In January 2019, Greg took up leadership of the Shell Energy trading business in Australia, becoming CEO of ERM Power following Shell’s acquisition in November 2019. In February 2021 these businesses came together under the Shell Energy brand.
Greg leads this integrated electricity and gas business in its ambition to build a new energies business that helps its customers thrive through the energy transition.
Executive General Manager, Strategy & Portfolio Development
Gregg has been with the company since 2006, through ERM Power’s evolution from private power station developer through to its business and geographic expansions, Australian Securities Exchange listing, and then acquisition by Shell in November 2019.
Gregg has held leadership roles in power station development, equity and debt financing, asset & business sales and acquisitions, and strategy development in both Australia and the US.
In his role as EGM Strategy & Portfolio Development, Gregg has responsibility across two key dimensions within the business – the development, embedding, and execution of Shell Energy’s strategy, and the delivery of some of the key growth initiatives including renewables and firming development.
Prior to joining the energy industry, Gregg worked at CSIRO’s Qld Centre for Advanced Technology, as part of the joint CSIRO and University of Qld PhD program, in the area of unmanned aerial vehicle research and development.
Gregg is an electrical engineer by training and holds a PhD in robotics.

In 2007 Phil began working for ERM Power, when it was the developer of six gas-fired power stations across Australia representing a generating capacity of 2,669MW.
As part of the legal team, Phil assisted ERM Power in its journey from listing on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2010 and growing its B2B electricity retail business into the second largest in Australia (by electricity load), with market–leading customer satisfaction.
