June 4 (Reuters) - Australia's Lynas Rare Earths said on Thursday that Chief Operating Officer Pol Le Roux will take over as interim CEO from June 30, marking a leadership transition at the world's largest producer of rare earths outside China.
Le Roux will be succeeding Amanda Lacaze, who is retiring from the helm after 12 years in the role.
Le Roux joined Lynas in late 2010, a few years before Lacaze, and has overseen the company's operations across Australia and Malaysia.
He has previously held multiple roles at French chemicals company Rhône-Poulenc, which is now a part of Belgium-based Solvay.
"Pol has over 20 years of experience in the rare earths industry and is recognised among our customers, investors and industry for his extensive knowledge of Lynas' operations and the rare earths market," Lynas Chair John Humphrey said.
