Royal Dutch/Shell Group, Europe's second-largest oil company, said that chief financial officer Judith Boynton would leave her post, the third senior executive to suffer after the company for years overstated its reserves.
Ms Boynton, 49, who came from Polaroid Corp and who ranked among the world oil industry's most senior women, will stay with the company.
