The news: The chief financial officer of lithium miner Pilbara Minerals, Luke Bortoli, has resigned to “pursue other opportunities”, according to a company announcement to the ASX.

The context: Bortoli will remain in the role while Pilbara searches for a new chief financial officer.

He joined Pilbara as chief financial officer in April 2023 after previously serving in the same role at buy now, pay later business Afterpay and gambling giant Aristocrat. He has also previously worked as a company adviser and as UBS’ director for investment banking.

What they said: “Luke has played a key role in strengthening our financial and operational platform during a period of significant growth and transformation,” Pilbara managing director and CEO Dale Henderson said.

“Notable achievements include securing the company’s $1 billion revolving credit facility and supporting the successful acquisition of Latin Resources, among other major milestones.”
