Teresa Waddington is a professional engineer and energy executive with nearly 20 years of experience leading teams across Canada and the UK. She’s currently Vice President, Corporate Relations at LNG Canada, where she wrangles everything from government relations and Indigenous partnerships to external comms and internal storytelling—often in the same day. Before this, she designed and delivered LNG Canada’s ESG strategy and operational HSSE systems as Sustainability and HSSE Manager.
Her career began at Shell, where she spent 16 years in increasingly senior roles, including Plant Manager of a Scottish NGL facility and Marine Terminal. (Yes, kilts were involved.) She’s navigated mega-projects, wildfire evacuations, and more than a few complex stakeholder tables—all while championing mentorship and team culture. In fact, she was named Mentor of the Year by Oil and Gas U.K. in 2019.
Outside the boardroom, Teresa serves on the boards of Qube Technologies and the University of Calgary’s Environment, Health and Sustainability Committee. She’s also an unrepentant coffee snob, a frequent flyer on red-eye flights, and firmly believes most problems can be solved on a mountain bike.
