Shell’s pioneering TaCIT team is one of our most boundary-pushing departments, integrating technical IT with technology and engineering advances.

TaCIT drives IT innovation through integration of our technical-based businesses, as such we require not only top talent with a proven technical skill set, but also innovative individuals with specialisms in diverse technical fields, and business experts with hybrid skills and strong experience.

Meet the manager

Amy Suhl, Vice President and CIO for Projects and Technology, sees TaCIT as a part of Shell’s business that gives them a clear advantage in the energy industry. 

“Some of the things we’re doing are just amazing,” she says. “We have the capabilities to do things that other companies can only aspire to.”

Key to its success, she says, is that not only does Shell constantly develop new technologies, but also it finds new uses for existing ones. 

“We look at how technology can be used for things you might not have thought about,” says Amy, who goes on to explain how Shell is now looking at how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to carry out safe and efficient inspections.

In summing up TaCIT and the broader role of functional IT, Amy says that they provide information at the speed we need, with the device we have, from wherever we are. This is one of the crucial aspects that will lead Shell into a new, innovative future.
