Biography
Sam Houston advises CEOs, boards and executive teams of mining and natural resource companies as they navigate periods of growth, transformation and increasing enterprise complexity.
A former international mining executive with Rio Tinto and Eldorado Gold and senrio leader with BHP, Arcelor Mittal and Jacobs, Sam has led major capital portfolios, organisational transformation and strategic delivery across Europe, the Americas, Australia, Africa and Asia. Today he works alongside executive teams to help them evolve their leadership, governance, operating models and organisational capability as their businesses transition from exploration and development through construction into operations.
His work is founded on a simple belief: while mining companies invest heavily in understanding how their assets will evolve, they often underestimate how quickly the enterprise itself must evolve to unlock their full value. He is the creator of the Enterprise Readiness framework, helping leadership teams build the organisational capability and execution discipline required for sustainable growth.
Sam is a recognised international speaker and moderator on enterprise evolution, strategy execution and executive leadership in the mining industry.
