Simon Byrne
With over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the energy sector, I am a seasoned business and transitional leader who delivers cultural change, reduces risk, and protects the workforce, and other stakeholders. I am currently the Vice President of HSSE and Ethics at TotalEnergies, a global energy company committed to providing affordable, reliable, and clean energy to millions of people.
My core competencies include leading and managing HSE excellence in matrix organisations, operational and project management, risk and crisis management, government and media relations, social performance, public hearings and public perception, mentoring to achieve excellence, and management systems and auditing. Multiple awards reflect outstanding performance in corporate social responsibility and safety excellence, such as the East African CSR Award, the PR Excellence Award, and the Group ROSPA Gold Award. My mission is to ensure that TotalEnergies operates in a safe, responsible, and sustainable manner, while creating value for its employees, partners, and communities.
