Global mining major Anglo American has appointed Duncan Wanblad to succeed Mark Cutifani as the company’s Chief Executive with effect from Anglo American's AGM on April 19, 2022.
He will also join the Anglo board as an executive director, also replacing Cutifani.
Chairman Stuart Chambers described Wanblad as having 30-years of international mining experience, a deep understanding of the company and its culture in both executive and non-executive roles spanning most of Anglo American's businesses.
He said Cutifani’s 9-year legacy clearly demonstrated his unquestionable mining expertise, with those in the areas of safety, the power of engagement and his vision for a very different and sustainable future for mining via technology, deserving particular recognition.
