Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC) announced today that Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Amanda Lacaze, will retire after 12 years in the role.
The board of directors has already initiated the search for a new CEO to lead the company through its next phase of growth, considering both internal and external candidates.
Lacaze will remain with the company until the end of the current financial year to ensure a smooth transition and notes that “it has been a great privilege to lead the company from a troubled startup to an ASX50 company”.
“I am leaving the company in good hands with a fabulous team with unique skills and know-how, and a balance sheet to support future growth plans. Having successfully concluded the Lynas 2025 capital investment program and launched the Towards 2030 growth strategy, it is the right time to make this transition,” Lacaze says.
Lynas Rare Earths is focused on mining and processing rare earth materials in Australia and Malaysia.
