Jakob Stausholm<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After four years at the helm, Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm will be stepping down later this year. The miner said \u201ca rigorous selection process is already underway\u201d to find his successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder Jakob\u2019s leadership, Rio Tinto has restored trust with key stakeholders, aligned our portfolio with the commodities where demand growth is strongest, built a diverse and talented management team, and set a compelling growth trajectory,\u201d said Rio Tinto Chair Dominic Barton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur focus on these things is undiminished and our strategic priorities are unchanged. This is a natural moment to appoint Jakob\u2019s successor, as we look ahead to our next phase in which we will double down to deliver greater operational performance to realize the full potential of our assets. I would like to thank Jakob for his significant contribution to Rio Tinto at a critical time in its evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stausholm joined Rio Tinto in 2018 as executive director and chief financial officer, and was promoted to CEO in January 2021. Under his tenure, Stausholm has reset Rio Tinto\u2019s strategy to align the group to the opportunities of the energy transition and shaped a pathway to a decade of profitable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stausholm will continue in his current role until a successor is appointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
