NYSE- and ASX-listed Alcoa has appointed Thomas Gorman as nonexecutive chairperson of its board of directors, effective immediately following its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

Gorman, who joined the Alcoa board in May 2021 as an independent director, succeeds Steven Williams, who stepped down after more than eight years of service. Williams had served as chairperson since January 2021 and was part of the board since the company’s public listing in 2016.

“On behalf of the board, I sincerely thank Steve for his service and contributions to Alcoa as a director, and for his leadership as chairman of the board,” said president and CEO Bill Oplinger. “Steve has provided significant guidance and insight during his tenure, and we look to build on this legacy in 2025 and beyond.”

Gorman brings more than 35 years of experience in global operations, having previously served as CEO of Brambles and in senior roles at Ford Motor Company, including president of Ford Australia. He has also chaired Alcoa’s people and compensation committee and served on its governance and nominating committee.

“Tom has brought over 35 years of global business knowledge to the board, gained from his extensive experience with complex, international operations at industry-leading companies over the course of his career,” said Oplinger. “The company will continue to benefit from his leadership, operational, and strategic expertise and global perspective in his role as chairman as we continue to pursue our strategic goals.”
