The news: BHP has appointed former NAB chief executive Ross McEwan to replace Ken MacKenzie as its chair, effective 31 March.
The context: MacKenzie joined the board in September 2016 and has been chair since September 2017. During this time he oversaw the transformation of BHP’s portfolio towards future-facing commodities.
McEwan stepped down as CEO of NAB in April 2024 and immediately joined BHP as an independent non-executive director. Prior to that he held executive roles at Commonwealth Bank, First NZ Capital Securities and National Mutual Life Association of Australasia/ AXA New Zealand.
McEwan is currently the lead independent director of Reece and a non-executive director of QinetiQ Group.
