Meet the founder

JonathanElton

Our company was founded by Jonathan Elton, a commercial strategist and one of Shell’s elite “Champion Deal Leads”. This small group of senior executives negotiate the company’s largest and most complex deals.

As a Director, Senior Vice President and General Manager Jonathan demonstrated a record of innovation for over twenty years. He led major businesses, consultancy teams and delivered more than sixty major completed acquisition, disposal or restructuring deals worth billions of dollars across the globe.

In five years, his strategy and leadership cut Shell’s legacy liability costs from US$500m a year to making a profit of US$60m even when doubling the amount of issues under management. This was achieved by reframing challenges, taking innovative approaches, initiative-taking risk management and relentless focus on delivery.

In addition, he significantly enhanced and protected the company’s reputation through rigorous analysis to identify and take improvement opportunities. As part of that he led the redundant real estate disposal plan, 697 sites in six years with net profits of over US$80m. Previously the company was disposing of 12-15 sites per annum.

Elton Consulting LLC is a Domestic Limited Liability Company formed in the state of Texas. Company reference number is 802970558.  Jonathan Elton is the registered agent and manager of the LLC, and we carry comprehensive insurance. The company does not offer or give legal, accounting or tax advice.
