As the federal government and BP continue to deal with the effects of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the worst in United States history, the public’s attention has become increasingly focused on the future of energy regulation and offshore drilling. Ultimate "Big Oil" insider John Hofmeister, author of Why We Hate the Oil Companies, will discuss the latest challenges rocking the industry and his vision for the future of energy.
Upon retirement from Shell Oil Company in 2008, John Hofmeister founded and now leads Citizens for Affordable Energy, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. The group promotes sound U.S. energy security solutions for the nation, including a range of affordable energy supplies, efficiency improvements, essential infrastructure, sustainable environmental policies and public education on energy issues.
Hofmeister was named president of Houston-based Shell Oil Company in March 2005, overseeing the U.S. Country Leadership Team, which included the leaders of all Shell businesses operating in the United States. He became president after serving as Group Human Resource director of the Shell Group, based in The Hague in the Netherlands. A business leader who has participated in the inner workings of multiple industries for over 35 years, he has also held executive management positions in General Electric, Nortel and AlliedSignal (now Honeywell International). Hofmeister serves as the chairman of the National Urban League and is a member of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee.
