BHP Billiton is said to have had a list of 1,200 potential candidates to succeed chairman Jac Nasser. However, three current directors – Ken MacKenzie, Malcolm Broomhead and Lindsay Maxsted – are believed to be the final contenders for the role. Former BHP chairman Don Argus stresses the need for the succession process to have integrity. It will be decided via a secret ballot at a board meeting in Chile in coming days.
