MELBOURNE, Australia--BHP Group's (BHP) chief transformation
officer will leave the company in 2020, the second senior executive
to step down from the global resources company in recent days.
BHP said Jonathan Price will oversee the transition of the
transformation programs to the company's assets and functions that
are responsible for them during the first half of next year, after
which he will leave the company and move back to the U.K. with his
family, according to an emailed statement Friday.
"We created the transformation office to accelerate change at
BHP and bring focus to our activity and our processes on value
creation," outgoing Chief Executive Andrew Mackenzie said.
"Transformation will now become a core accountability of every
leader within BHP and will be accelerated through their delivery
plans."
Over the last 18 months, the transformation office at BHP
focused on areas including culture and innovation.
BHP on Monday said Chief Technology Officer Diane Jurgens will
leave BHP in early 2020 to move back to the U.S. to be closer to
her family. Ms. Jurgens joined the British-Australian mining
company in 2015.
Last month, BHP named company veteran Mike Henry as its next
CEO, taking over from Mr. Mackenzie at start of the new year.
