Rick Fox is the Alaska Asset Manager for Shell Exploration and Production. He is not new to Alaska: His past assignments in Alaska include drilling supervisor in the Bering, Beaufort and Chukchi Seas Projects in the late 1980’s. He received his first Shell President’s Award for Team Excellence, one of several, as a member of the Chukchi Sea Exploration Team.

He began his career with Shell in 1975, and his subsequent assignments include position in the Gulf of Mexico, the North and Mid Atlantic, Brazil, Syria and the North Sea. He headed up Shell’s Auger Project, Shell’s first Deepwater Development, and in 1994 took over Shell’s Major Projects Operations Team responsible for Shell’s subsea projects.

In 1996, Rick took on the role of Operations Manager for the Ursa Project, Shell’s largest deepwater platform, leading Ursa through construction, start-up and expansion projects. Under his leadership the Ursa team became known as one of the finest teams in industry, lauded in magazines and industry publications for excellence in safety, people development and environmental stewardship. He subsequently took over as Shell America’s Operations Capability Manager in charge of developing and executing people strategies to assure achievement of the company’s goals. He returned to Alaska earlier this year.

Rick received a B.S. in Mathematics cum laude from University of Georgia in Athens in 1974.
