Rio Tinto’s former CEO Jakob Stausholm attended the last three World Economic Forums in Davos. However, the resources group will not be represented at the 2026 event; current CEO Simon Trott and his executive team are believed to be focusing on operational matters and the proposed merger with Glencore. Meanwhile, BHP CEO Mike Henry and Fortescue’s executive chairman Andrew Forrest are amongst the mining industry leaders who will address the WEF. Glencore CEO Gary Nagle will also be at Davos, and he is expected to advocate the merits of the proposed merger with Rio Tinto.
