JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Vedanta Resources’ Zinc International subsidiary has appointed former Anglo American Thermal Coal CFO Deshnee Naidoo as CEO designate.

She would work alongside current CEO Kishore Kumar, until he leaves at the end of this year.

Naidoo, who has 16 years experience in the resources industry, including in the platinum, thermal coal and manganese sectors, has held the position of strategic long-term planning manager, corporate finance manager and deputy head at the CEO's office, while under the leadership of former Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll.

She has also held various technical positions at Anglo American.

Further, Naidoo would also fulfil the role of CEO designate for Vedanta group company Sesa Sterlite’s Copper Mines of Tasmania (CMT) subsidiary.

In addition to managing the existing business at Zinc International and CMT, she would champion the growth opportunity of the Gamsberg–Skorpion integrated zinc project by ensuring the successful execution of the first phase of the project and ensuring that the region, in Southern African, is sufficiently equipped for the development of a larger mine, in terms of infrastructure.
