HyTerra Limited has appointed Riley Kemp as Chief Executive Officer, effective 15 December 2025. Riley Kemp is a seasoned legal and commercial professional with more than 15 years' experience across global energy and resources markets in both ASX-listed and private companies, as well as exposure to a range of other international sectors through his commercial, corporate development and advisory roles. His career has centred on driving growth, building strategic partnerships and delivering commercial outcomes that support long-term value creation.
He also brings experience in legal and transactional work, which complements his commercial skillset and supports disciplined execution. Riley has worked in Perth and London for a multinational law firm and global companies in roles spanning corporate advisory, commercial transactions including IPO's, capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions (including major transactions in the Oil and Gas and Mining sectors) and broader commercial work, contributing to investment and growth initiatives across multiple international markets. Most recently, Riley served as Corporate Development Manager at Fortescue after joining in August 2022, where he worked broadly across both Mining and Energy, including leading the commercial activities for geologic hydrogen.
In this role, he played a central part in Fortescue's AUD 21.9 million strategic investment in HyTerra in December 2024 and has since worked closely with the Company under the Strategic Alliance between Fortescue and HyTerra. Riley resigned from Fortescue in early December to join HyTerra. As CEO, Riley will be responsible for building global relationships and partnerships, strengthening the market profile, accelerating HyTerra's growth and advancing the Company's ambition to play a leading role globally in the development of geologic hydrogen.
He will oversee key project decisions, with a particular focus on commercialisation pathways, offtake opportunities and strengthening relationships with strategic partners.
