Rio Tinto appoints new Chief People Officer

19 December 2024

 

Rio Tinto has appointed Georgie Bezette as its new Chief People Officer,
succeeding James Martin, who will retire at the end of this year.

 

Georgie, who joined the organisation in 2008, is currently Chief Operating
Officer, People, responsible for the transformation of the People function in
support of Rio Tinto's ambitious cultural change journey. She will start in
her new role on 1 January 2025 and be based in London.

 

Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said: "As I have come to know
Georgie, it is clear she is passionate about talent development, culture
change, and creating inclusive environments that foster growth and innovation.
This, combined with her operational experience, strong leadership capability
and ability to make positive change a reality, will be a huge asset to the
Executive Committee and to the business.

 

"I would like to thank James Martin for his leadership through a period of
significant cultural change for our organisation. He has had a huge impact at
Rio Tinto, and so I am pleased that he has agreed to stay on in an advisory
capacity for another year".

 

Georgie Bezette said: "I am delighted to be stepping up into the role of Chief
People Officer as we embark on a decade of growth. The Company has made great
strides to enact meaningful cultural change across the industry over the last
couple of years, and I look forward to working with my colleagues across the
globe to continue that important work, whilst helping the business to deliver
on its wider strategy."
