Rebecca joined Shell in Fall 2013, to do technology "pull". She’s looking for great technologies that will help Shell do what it does, better, with smaller footprint. She’s a serial entrepreneur and 30 year Austin resident who believes “we are all on this planet together”, and energy is something that touches every single human on the planet. Her talk will answer the question, “What the heck is an oil major doing at SxSW Interactive?” She will describe the types of technologies Shell is seeking and believes it can find in entrepreneurial communities such as Austin. Time permitting, she will go into the types of initiatives under consideration for more fully engaging the creative minds outside Shell who want to put their minds to work on truly global grand challenge problems.
