The Gina Rinehart-controlled iron ore miner Roy Hill has unveiled the biggest leadership shake-up in its remarkable 10-year history, with chief executive Barry Fitzgerald set to leave the top job within months.
Mr Fitzgerald will take a seat on the Roy Hill board as a representative for Mrs Rinehartâs Hancock Prospecting as well as representing her on the board of Hope Downs.
Roy Hill announced on Wednesday that chief operating officer Gerhard Veldsman would replace Mr Fitzgerald as chief executive from July 1.
The leadership transition comes after Mr Fitzgerald played a massive role in taking Roy Hill from the final planning stages through construction and into production.
