Leadership changes at Evolution and Fortescue
Two of Australia’s major mining companies, Evolution Mining and Fortescue, announced leadership changes on Wednesday.
Gold miner Evolution confirmed that executive chairperson Jake Klein will transition to a non-executive chair role on July 1. The company, currently led by CEO and MDr Lawrie Conway, has been under Klein’s leadership since its formation in 2011 following the merger of Conquest Mining and Catalpa Resources.
Klein will continue overseeing Evolution’s efforts to convert the Mt Rawdon operation into a renewable energy infrastructure asset, the Mt Rawdon Pumped Hydro project.
“Jake is the founder of Evolution, and his inspired vision has been integral to the company’s success to date. Evolution has grown from humble beginnings in 2011 into a globally relevant gold mining business with a reputation for delivering value for all stakeholders,” commented lead independent director Peter Smith.
Meanwhile, Fortescue announced the appointment of Noel Quinn to its board as a nonexecutive director, pending regulatory approvals. Quinn, a banking industry veteran with 37 years of experience, most recently served as group CEO of HSBC.
Fortescue executive chairperson Andrew Forrest welcomed Quinn’s appointment, highlighting his extensive financial expertise. “Noel is a highly respected leader who brings a wealth of international expertise and experience in finance and capital markets. His deep understanding of the complexities of the global financial landscape will be invaluable as Fortescue continues to diversify into new markets and grow as a green technology, energy, and metals group.”
