Anglo American appoints Alison Atkinson as Group Director
- Projects & Development
Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") announces the appointment
of Alison Atkinson as Group Director - Projects & Development
and a member of Anglo American's Group Management Committee, to
take effect during the second quarter of 2023. Alison is currently
the CEO of AWE, an arms-length body of the UK Government
responsible for developing and maintaining essential elements of
the UK's nuclear deterrent, incorporating some of the world's most
advanced research and production capabilities.
Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said:
"Alison's proven experience of leading large technology-based
organisations delivering leading edge programmes and projects is
ideally suited to the phasing and development of our portfolio of
major growth options. By integrating our next phase of FutureSmart
Mining(TM) technologies into those projects and our existing
operations, we expect to see further improvements in safety and
productivity, with enhanced project economics, while reducing our
energy and water intensity. This new role is therefore also central
to our attainment of our Sustainable Mining Plan climate targets
and ambitions. We congratulate Alison on her appointment and look
forward to welcoming her."
Alison Atkinson commented: "I am delighted to be joining Anglo
American and to have the opportunity to shape the execution of a
diverse pipeline of projects that offer growth of 25% over the next
decade alone, helping improve the way we all live in balance with
the world's natural resources and society. Given the increasingly
recognised role of many metals and minerals in decarbonising much
of the global economy, it will be exciting to bring the latest
science and engineering solutions together to ensure we can supply
those essential materials in a climate-responsible way."
