Hatton replaces Belinda Smith and joins MacArthur at a pivotal time for the company. Last month India’s Arcelor Mittal took a 14.9% stake in Macarthur and founder Ken Talbot is now looking to sell his remaining stake with several international buyers showing interest.
Hatton comes with a raft of industry experience with mining majors including Aurora Energy, Tarong Energy and BHP, and worked as an external financial auditor for KPMG.
