Strike Energy overhauls leadership with new CEO and leaner board

An update from Strike Energy Limited ( (AU:STX) ) is now available.

Strike Energy has announced the immediate resignation of CEO and Managing Director Peter Stokes and the appointment of seasoned resources executive Shelley Robertson to the role, effective 1 June 2026. Robertson, who brings more than three decades of experience across oil and gas, mining, energy, infrastructure and renewables, plans to drive strategic growth, disciplined project delivery and the development of Strike into a significant integrated energy business within the Australian market.

Following an independent review, Strike will streamline its board to four non-executive directors plus the managing director, with long-serving chair John Poynton and director Mary Hackett to retire on 30 June 2026 and deputy chair Nev Power to become non-executive chair from 1 July 2026. The refreshed leadership and smaller, more agile board are intended to better match Strike’s current scale, sharpen governance and position the company to supply reliable, cost-effective gas and electricity while pursuing further exploration-led growth in Western Australia.
