Rio Tinto appoints new Copper Chief Executive

17 July 2024

 

 

Rio Tinto has appointed Katie Jackson to lead its Copper business, succeeding
Bold Baatar, who as previously announced, will become Chief Commercial Officer
later this year.

 

Katie is currently President of National Grid Ventures, responsible for the
development and operation of large-scale infrastructure energy assets. She
will join Rio Tinto on 1 September 2024 and be based in London.

 

Katie has strong international experience in the energy sector, across both
operational and commercial roles, starting at Shell as a Drilling Engineer and
working in Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the USA.
Following stints at Anadarko and Equinor, where she latterly ran Development
and Production operations across Europe and Asia, she joined BG Group as
Executive Vice President for Global Business Development and Strategy. Having
rejoined Shell, she was subsequently promoted to Executive Vice President of
Acquisition, Divestment and New Business Development with responsibility
across the Shell portfolio.

 

Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said: "Katie brings diverse
experience from across the energy sector. Her leadership will be invaluable as
we shape our copper business for a successful future. As we continue the ramp
up of Oyu Tolgoi to become one of the world's largest copper suppliers, we are
also looking to the future with new opportunities across the world. We are
very excited that Rio Tinto will benefit from Katie's global perspective,
proven operational and strategic leadership capability and her passion for
driving sustainable growth."

 

Katie Jackson said: "I am inspired by Rio Tinto's ambition to deliver the
materials the world needs. It is an exciting time to lead the copper business
when we have such a central role to play in delivering a low carbon future and
I believe my current role delivering major infrastructure projects will help
me bring a new perspective I look forward to collaborating with our teams
across the globe, in partnership with communities and governments, and lead
the business to an even stronger future."
