About Yesim Jonsson
Passionate about innovation and building alliances to drive positive change, I am currently Commercial Partnerships Manager at Shell GameChanger, where I provide funding and expertise to innovative start-ups developing disruptive technologies with the potential to shape the future of energy. I am also the Shell Program Manager for GCxN, overseeing the growth and implementation of a global cleantech accelerator with the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).Over my 23-year career with Shell, I have developed deep commercial skills and established a track record of creative, collaborative deals and partnerships. I have led high-performing teams across multiple geographies, driving change and delivering value in strategic and complex supply chains. In my diverse roles across Upstream, Unconventionals, and Technology, I have developed multi-asset supply strategies, negotiated and implemented key global deals and value initiatives, and forged strategic external partnerships.A native of Türkiye, I hold B.A, M.A, and M.B.A. degrees from institutions in the United States and recently earned an M&A certification from INSEAD in France. I also serve on the board of EWT Fund, a Houston-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing scholarships for girls and uplifting women in Türkiye.
