Exchange release
12 November 2026
BHP Chief Financial Officer
BHP announces the appointment of Adrian Wood as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of BHP Group
Limited effective 17 February 2027.
Adrian succeeds Vandita Pant, who will step down as CFO following release of BHP’s half year
results on 16 February 2027 and will remain with BHP to provide transition support until 29 March
2027.
BHP Chief Executive Officer, Brandon Craig said:
“Adrian has a strong track record of financial management, strategic thinking and commercial
capability. His appointment ensures that we continue to build organisational capacity, with the right
mix of skills, experience and perspectives to deliver BHP’s strategy. I look forward to welcoming
Adrian to the Executive Leadership Team.
I would also like to thank Vandita on behalf of employees across BHP, the Executive Leadership
Team, the Board and our shareholders for her significant commitment and contribution to BHP over
the past 10 years and wish her success for the future. Vandita joined BHP in 2016 as Group Treasurer
and Head of Europe and was appointed Chief Commercial Officer in 2019. She has made an
outstanding contribution in multiple senior financial and commercial roles across BHP and during her
time as CFO, Vandita has continued to strengthen our approach to capital allocation. This discipline
and financial rigour in decision-making has enabled BHP to deliver healthy shareholder returns, invest
in future growth and has put us in a strong position for the future.”
