HELEN HILL

MEA Strategy Manager, JOHNSON MATTHEY

Biography

Helen Hill is MEA Strategy Manager at Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies that enable a cleaner and healthier world. She is responsible for developing high-impact and long-term regional strategies in the Middle East and Africa for JM’s Catalyst Technologies business, which manufactures speciality catalysts and additives and licenses process technology for the chemicals and energy industries.

Around 25 years ago, Helen started her career with Johnson Matthey (then under the name of Kvaerner Process Technology) as a process engineer. Over the next ten years, she worked her way up through the Process Engineering department to a senior level, in a wide variety of areas from process design for mini plants and full-scale plants to process modelling for new technologies to detail engineering support and plant commissioning. Then Helen took her career in a different direction and moved into project management, where she managed the full range of projects she had worked on as a process engineer and also led Johnson Matthey’s R&D project management function on Teesside. Building on these experience, she moved up to an Engineering Manager role responsible for developing and delivering the strategy for proprietary equipment and revamps for the Syngas market. Helen is a  Fellow of the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), where she supports the professional development of chemical engineers through being a Professional Reviewer for chartered engineer and Fellow applications.

Johnson Matthey is a global leader in sustainable technologies, applying our cutting-edge science to create solutions with our customers that make a real difference to the world around us. For over two centuries we’ve used advanced metals chemistry to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. As the planet faces up to an era of huge global challenges including climate change, energy supply and resource scarcity, we’re continuing to innovate, providing solutions that are helping our customers and catalysing the net zero transition for millions of people every day. Helen will be sharing some insight about the challenges and opportunities created by the predicted growth in crude-to-chemicals and how Johnson Matthey uses its’ proven catalyst and technology expertise in the downstream sector. This would also focus on collaboration and how important this is for achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
