Jean-Sebastien Jacques has indicated that reducing costs, balance sheet strength and industrial safety will be among Rio Tinto’s priorities when he succeeds Sam Walsh as CEO in July 2016. There had been speculation that Rio Tinto will ramp up its growth strategy under Jacques, following several years of cost-cutting. He is currently the head of Rio Tinto’s copper and coal division.
