Akin Monehin
Akin Monehin is a transformation leader, entrepreneur, and author of Execution Is a Lieā„¢.
At Shell, he currently leads supply chain delivery for an ongoing multi-billion-dollar energy project, ensuring reliability, value capture, and execution discipline across value chain delivery. Until September 2025, he also served as Business Transformation Manager, where he,
together with key members of the leadership team, delivered $200ā€“$250 million in incremental free cash flow each year for five consecutive years.
