JSE-listed Gold Fields has appointed Phillip Anthony Murnane as CFO and executive director. He will be based at the Gold Fields corporate office in Johannesburg.

The company is currently finalising his commencement date, which is expected to be in early 2025.

He will succeed Paul Schmidt, who served as CFO and executive director until April 30, and will take over from Alex Dall who has acted as interim CFO from May 1 to date.

Murnane is a qualified accountant, with an operational finance background and more than 20 years of experience in the resources sector, including several stints as CFO.

He obtained a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Economics from the Australian National University, subsequently becoming a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia in 2003.

Murnane began his career at Deloitte before embarking on an international career spanning four continents. He has subsequently held senior roles at Centrica, Glencore, Noble, Ferroglobe and most recently at commodities brokers ED&F Man.

“On behalf of the company, I would like to welcome [Murnane] to the Gold Fields team. We are delighted to have a seasoned executive of his talent joining Gold Fields as the CFO.

“We are also very grateful to Dall for his leadership during his time as interim CFO,” Gold Fields CEO Mike Fraser said on August 26.

To ensure a seamless transition, Dall will continue as interim CFO until Murnane’s employment begins.
