LONDON--Mining giant Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) said Tuesday it has
appointed Stephen McIntosh as head of technology and innovation,
replacing Greg Lilleyman, who will leave the company after 25 years
of service.
The Anglo-Australian miner, the world's second-largest
diversified miner by market capitalization, didn't provide a reason
for Mr. Lilleyman leaving the company.
Mr. McIntosh has worked with Rio Tinto for almost 30 years on
projects in more than 45 countries. Most recently, he was head of
exploration, leading a 450-strong global team of employees
operating in 20 countries.
Prior to exploration, Mr. McIntosh led Rio Tinto's Project
Generation Group for six years and transformed its activities to
build a team of commodity, technical and ore body knowledge
experts.
"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," said Rio Tinto Chief Executive Sam Walsh.
