General counsel
Gazprom Energy Marketing & Trading
Identified as a ‘smart lawyer with a broad international perspective’ and a ‘rising star of the industry’, Jacqueline Hill has been the GC for the UK subsidiary of the Russian gas giant Gazprom since 2006 after moving from EDF Trading.
Hill started building the legal team from just two staff to over 30 today in legal and compliance globally.
