PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified major Rio Tinto has appointed Isabelle Deschamps to succeed Barbara Levi as chief legal officer & external affairs.

Deschamps, who is currently general counsel of AkzoNobel and a member of the executive committee, will join Rio on October 25.

She is a dual Canadian and UK citizen, has over 20 years’ experience in various senior legal roles across Europe and Canada, and joined AkzoNobel in 2018 as group general counsel, where she is responsible for all legal, integrity and compliance and intellectual property management, as well as company secretary.

I am delighted to welcome her to Rio Tinto and look forward to having her join the executive team and lead our legal, compliance and external affairs teams,” Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm said.
