Mark Bristow steps down as Barrick’s chief executive

Barrick said Bristow had left after nearly seven years in the job, which he took after the 2019 merger with Randgold. Mark Hill, who ran the Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions, became interim chief executive. Hill was confirmed in the role in February 2026.

Why it matters. A change of chief executive often precedes a change of strategy, from asset sales to new deals.
