Talison Lithium is pleased to welcome Rob Telford as its new CEO, effective today. With more than 30 years’ experience in the resources sector and specialised expertise in operational excellence and strategic leadership, Rob is well-positioned to guide Talison into its next phase of growth.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to former CEO, Lorry Mignacca, who left the company in July after 33 years of dedicated service, including 11 years as CEO. Throughout Lorry’s leadership, Talison significantly expanded its operations in line with the rapid growth in global demand for lithium, a critical mineral required for the transition to cleaner energy.
As the lithium industry continues to evolve, the role of Greenbushes in the global supply chain has never been more important. Our operations must not only expand but also remain agile, and ready to adapt to changing conditions. Under Rob’s leadership, Talison will be well-placed to navigate the challenges ahead and seize emerging opportunities.
Known for leading with humility and care, Rob’s approach aligns closely with Talison’s values. Over the coming months, Rob will spend significant time onsite at Greenbushes, engaging with the workforce, surrounding communities, and key stakeholders to gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of Talison’s operations, which will help guide company’s future direction.
Talison warmly welcomes Rob and looks forward to working with him in his new position.
