Merrill Gray has resigned from her post as Managing Director of Hexagon Energy Materials (HXG), effective May 17.

The company has not disclosed reasons for her resignation but confirmed it is in final negotiations with respect to a departure date.

At the same time, Hexagon has appointed Andrew Kirk as Director, who will join the Board until the next Annual General Meeting when he will be eligible for re-election.

Mr Kirk has been providing commercial and strategic advice to Hexagon since August 2021 on the company’s hydrogen strategy and projects.

Prior to his appointment, Mr Kirk worked for Woodside for 17 years and developed its current corporate LNG strategies.

Having worked in the hydrogen industry for the past three years, he established Green
Hydrogen Asia in Malaysia to transition the heavy vehicle market from diesel to renewable hydrogen, which Chairman Charles Whitfield said “brings [a] wealth of experience” to the Board.

“The initiatives on both the Hydrogen project and critical mineral sides of the business will be well supported and we look forward to progress over the coming weeks and months,” Mr Whitfield said.

Hexagon Energy shares were up 1.79 per cent, trading at 2.9 cents as of 11:55 am AEST.
