JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner Rio Tinto on Tuesday announced the appointment of Stephen McIntosh as acting group executive for technology and innovation to succeed Greg Lilleyman, who would leave the company after 25 years of service.

McIntosh has been with Rio Tinto for almost 30 years. Most recently, he was head of exploration, leading a 450-strong global team of employees operating in 20 countries.

“For a long time now, our technology and innovation 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,” commented CEO Sam Walsh.

Walsh also pointed to the contribution that Lilleyman had made to the development of Rio Tinto’s Pilbara operations, where he had spent the majority of his time with the business.

“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 programme in our Pilbara iron-ore operations and has led our productivity drive. We wish him well for the future.”
