Rio Tinto has appointed Dean Dalla Valle and Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz
as non-executive directors. Mr Dalla Valle and Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz,
both Australian citizens, will join the Board on 1 June 2023 and
will therefore stand for election at the annual general meetings of
the company in 2024.
Mr Dalla Valle brings four decades of operational and project
management experience in the resources and infrastructure sectors,
having previously been Chief Commercial Officer at BHP and Chief
Executive Officer of Pacific National. He has held numerous
leadership roles, working across all major mining commodities and
brings a wealth of experience in engaging with a broad range of
stakeholders globally, including governments, investors, and
communities. Mr Dalla Valle is also an experienced non-executive
and currently serves as Chair of hydrogen electrolyser technology
company Hysata.
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz brings extensive leadership experience in
Australia’s built environment sector, having been Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director of Mirvac Group for over a decade.
She is known for her transformational leadership on cultural
change, gender equity, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability.
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz currently serves as Chair of the Australian
National Housing Supply & Affordability Council, President of
Chief Executive Women, and is a Global Board member at leading
international Business School INSEAD.
Rio Tinto Chair Dominic Barton said “Dean and Susan will deepen
the Board’s capabilities and experience in key areas we had
identified that needed strengthening, and I am greatly looking
forward to working with them both.
“Dean is highly regarded across the mining industry for his deep
operational and technical experience and acumen, with a clear focus
on safety. His vast experience of developing complex mining
projects and of operating across various commodities on multiple
continents will be invaluable.
“Susan is highly respected for her transformational leadership
and brings a deep understanding of sustainability which is critical
as we work with our customers to decarbonise our entire value
chains. At Mirvac, Susan established a strong culture that was
purpose driven, commercial, inclusive, and innovative and this
experience will be particularly important for Rio Tinto as it
continues on its own journey of cultural transformation.”
Dean Dalla Valle said “I am pleased to be joining Rio Tinto and
believe that the clear objectives and strategy it has adopted will
create a stronger company, able to thrive in a decarbonising world.
I look forward to playing my part in this journey, particularly as
Rio begins now to develop and operationalise its suite of key
capital projects.”
Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz said, “I look forward to joining Rio Tinto
as it continues its focus on operational excellence and am excited
about the work ahead in effecting the cultural transformation and
decarbonisation of the business.”
