Teck goes on headhunting spree with investors seeking change

Teck Resources is shaking up its top executive ranks after coming under fire from investors seeking change at Canada’s largest diversified miner.

Harry “Red” Conger, a veteran miner who stepped down from Freeport-McMoRan this month, becomes Teck’s COO effective September 1, the Vancouver-based company said in a statement.

Teck also named Jonathan Price, an executive from BHP Group, as CFO, effective October 1, to succeed Ron Millos, and appointed Rothschild & Co.’s Nicholas Hooper as senior vice president of corporate development, according to the statement.
