Bio
Jyri Koponen
I have worked with Minna Laurila in very challenging situations for many years - already starting when she worked in HR and continuing when she worked as the Head of Legal in Shell. Minna has always been very up to date with the latest development of her area and her approach has also always been very professional and practical to different challenging issues and topics. Minna has been very much able to explain to her non-legally educated colleagues the details of the legal aspects in very clear and feet on the ground -way. She has been one of the best colleagues I have worked with during my almost 31 years of Shell Group service. I have a great pleasure to recommend Minna Laurila as a top reliable and very professional legal colleague - wishing her the best possible future!

As Head of Legal, Minna has supported the whole company (all Businesses and Functions) with her legal expertise. Covering such a broad job scope so successfully wouldn't have been possible without her great understanding of the business and dedication to her work. She is proactive, very thorough, and always delivering on time. Minna is also not afraid to voice her professional view, even if it's differing from the opinion of her stakeholders. As a colleague, she is considerate, open, always ready to listen and has a positive way of looking at life. It's been great fun working with you!
