Thibaut Larrat to analyze how to promote talent in mining at the XVI SIMPOSIO
- A partner at McKinsey & Company will open the segment on talent and organizational transformation, addressing innovative strategies for attracting, developing, and retaining specialized talent.
- His presentation will examine how digitalization and sustainability are redefining the professional profile demanded by the mining sector.
Lima, March 9, 2026. The SIMPOSIO – XVI International Mining Meeting, organized by the National Society of Mining, Petroleum, and Energy (SNMPE), will feature Thibaut Larrat, a partner at McKinsey & Company, on the panel “Talent Management, Diversity, and Inclusion in Sustainable Mining Environments”. His presentation will focus on one of the most pressing structural challenges facing the mining industry: the growing shortage of specialized talent in a sector that is undergoing profound technological transformation while simultaneously facing increasingly demanding ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
Larrat will analyze how mining companies can close the talent gap through innovative models for attracting, training, and retaining professionals aligned with digitalization, automation, and the sustainability standards required by the global market. He will also examine how generational change, new workplace expectations, and competition for STEM talent are reshaping human capital management, as well as the need to build employee value propositions that integrate technology, safety, social impact, and professional development.
“Talent is now the scarcest resource and, therefore, the most strategic one in mining. Companies that succeed in attracting, developing, and retaining the next generations of talent through a genuinely inclusive value proposition will be the ones that lead the sector’s transformation over the next decade,” said Larrat.
His participation will provide insights, based on international experience, into how leading companies are redesigning their talent strategies to sustain productivity and ensure operational continuity in highly complex environments.
Currently, Larrat has established himself as a key voice among mining leaders during this period of profound transformation, thanks to his extensive experience in performance improvement and organizational transformation in capital-intensive sectors. He has advised energy and natural resources companies on critical areas such as strategy, capability building, and organizational transformation. In addition, he is the co-author of influential studies on talent management in capital-intensive industries. His approach combines the analysis of global workforce trends with a practical perspective focused on building sustainable high-performance cultures.
The SIMPOSIO – XVI International Mining Meeting will take place from May 26 to 28, 2026, at the JW Marriott Hotel Lima, under the slogan “Mining that integrates, builds the present, and transforms the future.” The event will bring together business leaders, government authorities, academics, and international experts to analyze the sector’s main challenges and opportunities in investment, sustainability, and innovation.
