Andy Orszynski
S&P Commodity Insights
Director, Olefins & Derivatives
Andy leads S&P Global Commodity Insight’s research into Olefin Derivatives and Intermediates, including Ethylene and Propylene Oxides, Glycols and Linear Alpha Olefins. He joined S&P Global in 2023 having spent much of his career at Shell Chemicals.
Andy started his career as a Marketer - and then an Economist - within Shell’s Mobility business, before joining Shell Chemicals in 2012 as Sales Manager for Linear Alpha Olefins, Alcohols and Ethoxylates. Subsequently he joined the European Base Chemicals team, leading cracker feedstock projects to establish Ethane imports from North America, as well as new domestic sources of NGL’s and other advantaged feedstocks. After this he managed the Propylene Oxide Glycols and Glycol Ethers business, with overall responsibility for the P&L, manufacturing and supply chains, as well the strategic direction of the product line.
His experience across a number of Shell’s value chains has given him a strong insight into integrated value, and deep knowledge of a wide range of derivatives and end uses including Automotive, Building & Construction, Furnishings, Lubricants, Detergents and Solvents.
Most recently, Andy led Digitalization and Sustainability projects within Shell Aviation, and has a keen interest in how developments in these areas will impact the Chemical industry in both the near and long-term.
