Australia's South32 on Monday named Matthew Daley to lead the diversified miner when long-serving CEO Graham Kerr steps down in 2026, with Daley in the interim joining as deputy chief executive officer early next year. Daley has more than 20 years of experience in the metals and mining industry and is expected to help the miner continue its base metals expansion. He joined London-listed Anglo American in 2017 as group head of mining, and has previously served as the executive general manager for Glencore's Canadian copper division.
