Fortescue’s new management and organisational updates are designed to keep the company structure “lean, impactful and agile”.
Acting Chief Financial Officer, Apple Paget, will move into the role of Group Chief Financial Officer, after 11 months acting in the role. Ms Paget brought 25 years’ experience as a finance executive with her when she joined the company in January 2023 as Group Manager Finance and Tax.
Chief Corporate Officer, Shelley Robertson, will step into the role of Chief Operating Officer. Ms Robertson joined the company in October 2023 and is an experienced executive with a career spanning 30 years in oil and gas, mining and renewable energy.
Assistant Company Secretary, Navdeep (Mona) Gill, has been appointed as the Secretary of the Company. Ms Gill has been with Fortescue since 2021, acting as Legal Manager and Assistant Company Secretary.
Ms Gill has 20 years of legal experience acting in roles across government and private practice. Mona replaces Phil McKeiver as company secretary, with the change effective from 17 July 2024. Mr McKeiver will remain in his role as Chief General Counsel for the company.
Fortescue said it remains resolute in its commitment to be the world’s leading green technology, energy and metals company with a laser focus on achieving real zero by 2030.
The company said it has undergone a period of rapid growth and transition, and as part of bringing together Metals and Energy into One Fortescue, initiatives are being implemented to simplify its structure, remove duplication and deliver cost efficiencies.
The company said the streamlined One Fortescue team will be reflective of Fortescue’s Board, comprising of nearly 50 per cent women. Diversity will continue to be a key measure of our performance, with new targets implemented to drive diversity across the business.
