Senior management changes
24 May 2016
Rio Tinto has appointed Stephen McIntosh as the acting Group
executive, Technology & Innovation to succeed Greg Lilleyman,
who will leave the company after 25 years of service.
Stephen has been with Rio Tinto for almost 30 years working on
projects in more than 45 countries spanning the A-Z of minerals and
metals. Most recently, he was head of Exploration, leading a
450-strong global team of employees operating in 20 countries.
Prior to this, Stephen led Rio Tinto's Project Generation Group
for six years and transformed its activities to build a
world-leading team of commodity, technical and ore body knowledge
experts.
Rio Tinto chief executive Sam Walsh said "Stephen is a highly
respected member of Rio Tinto's senior leadership ranks and brings
to his new role a breadth of experience across multiple commodities
and geographies. For a long time now, our T&I function has
provided a point of strategic differentiation for Rio Tinto and
Stephen will spearhead the Group's drive for further productivity
improvement across the business."
Greg has made a significant contribution to the development of
our world-class Pilbara operations, where he has spent the majority
of his time with the business. He also held senior operational
roles in the Hunter Valley of NSW and Canada.
Sam Walsh said "Greg has had a long career with Rio Tinto and
played an important role in the development of our industry leading
Mine of the Future(TM) programme in our Pilbara iron ore operations
and has led our productivity drive. We wish him well for the
future."

immediate effect and retain the Exploration portfolio.
