My Duvet Flip with Young Jack ft. Chris O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer at Centrica
In this captivating episode, I have the privilege of conversing with the extraordinary Chris O'Shea, who serves as Chief Executive Officer at Centrica
Chris was appointed Group Chief Executive in early 2020 having previously been Group Chief Financial Officer. Prior to joining Centrica, Chris was group chief financial officyer of UK-listed Smiths Group plc and Vedsuvius plc, and a non-executive director of Indian-listed Foseco India Ltd. From 2006 to 2012 Chris held various senior finance roles with BG Group plc, including chief financial officer of Africa, Middle East & Asia and Europe & Central Asia, prior to which he held a number of senior roles with Shell, living and working in the UK, the US and Nigeria, and with Ernst & Young. Chris studied Accounting and Finance at the University of Glasgow, is a Chartered Accountant, and holds an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
Centrica has a 20,000 strong workforce based mainly in the UK. It is the largest energy and services company and parent company of British Gas. It prides itself as an inclusive workforce and particularly aims to encourage people from a broader range of background into STEM careers. It encourages young people from 16 to consider roles as apprentices where they will receive expert training at one of its Outstanding training Academies and given qualifications in green skills. We are recruiting an apprentice a day until 2030 and we want 50% of them to be female.
