Kenneth Norman MacKenzie (born March 1964)[1] is a Canadian-born businessman, and the chairman of BHP since September 2017, and the former CEO of Amcor.[2]

MacKenzie earned a bachelor's degree from McGill University in Canada.[3]

MacKenzie worked for Amcor for 23 years, and was CEO from July 2005 to April 2015.[3]

In June 2017, it was announced that MacKenzie would succeed Jac Nasser as chairman of BHP Billiton in September.[4][5][6]

In 2021, MacKenzie joined Barrenjoey Capital Partners as a Strategic Advisor.[7]

It was reported on 1 November 2023 that Mackenzie had defended BHP's A$2m donation in support of the Voice to Parliament referendum, arguing that there were "clear business reasons" for the support.[8] (In October 2023, the Voice to Parliament proposal was rejected nationally and by a majority in every state.[9])
