Mark Stephen Little is a Canadian business executive who was president and chief executive officer of Suncor Energy Inc,[1] an energy company based in Calgary, Alberta specializing in producing synthetic crude oil from tar sands.
He was selected to attend the 2022 Bilderberg meeting, where one of the topics was Energy Security and Sustainability. In July 2022 - one month after the Bilderberg meeting - Little stepped down as chief executive and president of Suncor, on a flimsy pretext.
Background
Born and raised in Calgary, Little holds a science degree from the University of Calgary and an applied petroleum engineering technology degree from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). He is also a graduate of the advanced management program at Harvard Business School.[1]
Career
He was CEO of Suncor Energy Inc, an energy company based in Calgary, Alberta producing synthetic crude oil from tar sands. Little was "an advocate for the energy sector's decarbonization efforts, having led the startup and operation of large wind and biogas projects and was one of the founding CEOs of Pathways Alliance, an initiative that sets the six largest oil sands companies in Canada on a path to reach net zero CO2 emissions.[2]
Resignation
In July 2022 - one month after the Bilderberg meeting - Mark Little stepped down as chief executive and president of Suncor, and resigned from its board of directors. The formal reason was that several workes had died on occupational accidents at one of its sites.[3]
In April 2022, the company was publicly called out by vulture hedge fund manager Paul Singer of Elliott Investment Management, who had the chutzpah to sharply criticize the company’s safety track record. Singer is infamous for his responsibility for an untold number of deaths through his debt collection scheme from poor countries.[4]
