Who really connects power in WA’s mining & energy ecosystem?

This map applies our stakeholder graph to 8 established mining and energy players in Western Australia, tracing board interlocks, directorships, and equity links.

The result: just 10 individuals create the shortest paths into capital, policy, project delivery, offtake/logistics, and social licence - revealing how influence actually moves across sectors.

Built to surface cross-sector gateways, not just company hierarchies.


Methodology

Built using TSC’s Genie large stakeholder database and network mapping module, with support form the AskGenie assistant.

Scored “degrees”: counted distinct sectors each person actively spans now (or very recently) and weighted high-leverage positions (chair/CEO, major ASX boards, top public bodies) and substantial shareholdings.

So... who are you going to call?

Business goal Primary gateway(s) Why them / bridge
Aviation access (flag carriers, Singapore hub) Goh Swee Chen (Woodside iNED; Singapore Airlines Director; SP Group Director) Bridges Perth energy boardrooms ↔ Singapore aviation & utilities/regulatory ecosystem.
Mine / project financing & capital markets Mark Barnaba (Fortescue Deputy Chair; ex Macquarie WA Chair / Global Head Natural Resources; former RBA Board) Deep mining finance + policy-macro credibility.
Government & industry policy access (resources) Ian Macfarlane (Woodside iNED; ex Federal Industry Minister; ex CEO QRC) Direct line into Canberra/Brisbane resources policy + peak body networks.
Philanthropic initiatives / large-scale giving Andrew Forrest (FMG Founder / Executive Chair; Founder Minderoo & Tattarang) Controls Australia’s most active philanthropic capital in WA; convening power.
EPC / megaproject delivery Ann Pickard (KBR Director; Woodside iNED; ex Shell EVP) Direct bridge to KBR EPC leadership + supermajor operator experience.
LNG & supermajors (commercial / strategy) Meg O’Neill (CEO Woodside; ex ExxonMobil senior roles) Decision-maker for Australia’s largest ASX-listed energy company; Exxon network.
Mining services & contractor solutions Chris Ellison (MD Mineral Resources) Controls MIN’s services footprint; acquiring RDG assets—deal influence.
Critical minerals / lithium offtake & OEM ties Kathleen Conlon (Chair Pilbara Minerals; NED BlueScope & Aristocrat) and Nick Cernotta (NED Pilbara Minerals; NED Northern Star) Board-level access to PLS; Conlon bridges manufacturing; Cernotta spans gold, base metals, and lithium.
Ports & logistics (NSW, interstate) Penny Bingham-Hall (FMG NED; former Director Port Authority of NSW) FMG board + prior NSW port governance; freight/logistics networks.
Sport / media & community reach (brand & social licence) Richard Goyder (Chair Woodside; Chair AFL Commission; ex Qantas Chair; ex Wesfarmers MD) High-octane convenor across business, sport, airlines, and retail.
