Shell's departing CFO to join Rio Tinto as non-executive director

LONDON, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: 0LN9.L - news) 's chief financial officer, Simon Henry, will join miner Rio Tinto (Hanover: CRA1.HA - news) as non-executive director from July 1 after he leaves the oil major.

Henry, who has served as CFO for seven years of his 34 years at Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) , will hand over to Jessica Uhl on March 9 and leave the company on June 30.

"Royal Dutch Shell confirms that Simon Henry, Chief (Taiwan OTC: 3345.TWO - news) Financial Officer of the company, has been appointed a non-executive director of Rio Tinto with effect from July 1, 2017," Shell said in a statement on Friday.
