Prior to joining Woodside, Mr. Coleman spent 27 years with the ExxonMobil group in a variety of roles, including Vice President Development Asia Pacific from 2010 to 2011 and Vice President Production Americas from 2008 to 2010. Since 2012, he has been an adjunct professor of corporate strategy at the University of Western Australia Business School. Mr. Coleman has also served as chair of the Australia-Korea Foundation since 2016, as a board member of the Australia Japan Business Co-operation Council since 2013, and as an advisory council member for the Asia Society Australia since 2012.
Mr. Coleman will serve until the next annual general meeting of the Company’s stockholders, at which he will be subject to re-election.
