There is widespread support among BHP Billiton shareholders for Ken MacKenzie to become its next chairman. Amcor’s return on capital rose strongly during his tenure as CEO, and he was not on the BHP board when it made ill-fated investments in the US shale sector. However, the selection of a new chairman ultimately rests with the BHP board, which could potentially opt against MacKenzie in order to avoid suggestions that it was swayed by investors.
