BHP names Brandon Craig as CEO, succeeding Mike Henry

Brandon Craig, with over 25 years at BHP, will lead growth in copper and potash, key to future earnings, as CEO starting July 1, the company said.

  • BHP announced on Wednesday that Brandon Craig will become chief executive and a director from July 1, succeeding Mike Henry who will step down after about six years.
  • After a formal board-led succession process, Ross McEwan, BHP chair, said the company had been working on a succession plan for some time, though some insiders found the timing surprising last year.
  • Having run Pilbara iron ore, Craig now oversees BHP Americas, with over 25 years at the company, and is expected to focus on tier-one assets and growth in copper and potash.
