Matthew Daley will join South32 as deputy chief executive officer on February 2, 2026, and will assume the role of chief executive officer once Graham Kerr steps down later that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daley is currently the technical and operations director and a member of the executive leadership team at Anglo American. He joined the miner in 2017 as group head of Mining, and prior to that was the executive general manager for Glencore\u2019s Canadian copper division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we embark on this leadership transition, I want to recognize the outstanding contribution Graham has made over a decade of service through the company\u2019s demerger from BHP and the subsequent transformation of its portfolio,\u201d said South32 Chair Karen Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs inaugural CEO, Graham has been instrumental in establishing South32\u2019s values-based culture, building a quality leadership team, and implementing our strategy, underpinned by a disciplined approach to capital allocation and cost management. His safety-focused leadership has enabled the ongoing delivery of our global, multi-year Safety Improvement Program which remains core to the pursuit of improvements in our safety performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added, \u201cMatthew is a highly accomplished executive with extensive operational and leadership experience, including in copper and in the Americas, and the Board is confident he is the right successor for Graham.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daley holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) (Hons) from the University of South Australia. He is currently based in the United Kingdom and intends to relocate to Australia in his role with South32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
