Seems like Munkhsukh S has been named 1st Mongolian CEO of #OyuTolgoi to start in Feb 2026.

D Lingenfelder stepping down sd #OyuTolgoi CEO at the end of the year. She will have been chief for >3 years.
Intl voices used to call #Mongolia govt "instable", but back in 2018 I already compared PM and OT CEO tenure. Since then, relative stability.
