BHP Group has appointed Ross McEwan as chairman, replacing Ken MacKenzie who will retire from the board at the end of next month.

MacKenzie has led BHP’s board since September 2017, when he replaced former Ford Motor Co boss Jac Nasser, a veteran executive who spent a tumultuous seven years in the position. MacKenzie focused on lifting investor returns, repairing investor confidence and, later, overseeing a cautious return to growth.
