Mr. Frank Numann brings a wide experience in areas such as Finance, Procurement, Project Management, Internal Audit, Ethics, and Compliance gained in 35 years of work for Royal Dutch/Shell (now Shell plc) in 9 different countries across all continents. This expertise is augmented by having lived and worked in the Philippines for 17 years. He is married to a Filipina.
He was the first CFO of Shell Philippines Exploration in 1993, where he actively participated in the key design and investment decisions of the Malampaya project. Malampaya was special, not just because of the technical issues. Financing a $2 billion project in the 1990s, while the Philippine economy was still under IMF tutelage, was a major challenge. During his career, Frank's interests evolved into the areas of Internal Audit and Company Culture. Before retirement in 2013, he was Shell's global Vice President for Ethics and Compliance for the oil/gas exploration and production business. His approach has always been to have profitable operations that are compliant with regulations in areas such as Bribery and Corruption, IT, Data Protection, and Money Laundering. This requires a sound appreciation of key business risks and the way Management arrives at their decisions.
He is an accomplished Teaching Fellow at ICD and Vice Chair of ICD's Thought Leadership Team. He writes his own training material with emphasis on sharing his experience. Lectures cover diverse areas such as Corporate Culture, Fraud, Whistleblowing, and Internal Audit. He conducted a Master Class late 2024 focused on the underlying culture and governance issues at the company. This October it will be about governing Internal Audit in the 2020 and 2030s. He is a frequent speaker at corporate conferences and, in 2020, was the keynote speaker at the annual conference of the Institute of Internal Auditors in the Philippines.
