Simon Yacoub

With over 25 years of experience in the engineering and construction industry, I am a leader of complex processes and strategy, motivated by creating a positive enduring legacy for the future. Currently, I am the global sector leader for mining, minerals and metals at Worley, a global provider of professional project and asset solutions for the energy, chemicals and resources sectors. In this role, I drive the growth and strategy of our fastest growing sector, through collaborative behaviours and new ways of working, technology and innovation to enable the energy transition and deliver ESG outcomes for our customers and host communities. I have served the global minerals industry on most continents across most commodities. When done responsibly, it is a most fulfilling and vital industry. My legacy? To leave the industry in a position and with a reputation that serves the needs of our civilisation in an enduring and increasingly circular manner.
