Board Changes
Getech, a provider of geoscience data, knowledge and software to
the energy industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Emma
Parker-Wilson as a Non-Executive Director to the Board of Getech
with immediate effect, and that Chris Flavell, a current
Non-Executive Director, shall retire from the board today.
Emma has more than 17 years' experience as an Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) and mining operations specialist. Emma
is currently Principal in charge of Sustainable Business
Opportunities at Anglo American PLC, a multi-national,
multi-commodity mining company. At Anglo American, Emma is
responsible for identifying and delivering commercial value,
leveraging Anglo American's sustainability practices across areas
of business development, marketing and finance. In particular, her
role focuses on leading innovative approaches to sustainability-led
value creation.
Emma's appointment to the Getech Board brings vast mining
industry experience and expertise as the Company applies its core
earth science and geospatial expertise to the energy transition and
diversifies into adjacent energy sectors, including the mining of
strategic minerals.
Having founded the Musangu Foundation, which supports mining
companies' approach to social investment, and Impact Capital
Africa, which supports impact investing in Zambia, Emma also brings
strong entrepreneurial experience to Getech.
The appointment of Emma continues the board transition process
aimed at aligning the Non-Executive expertise with the Company's
strategy to apply its core earth science and geospatial expertise
to a wider array of industries engaged in the energy transition and
assisting them to discover and de-risk the development of assets
that include mining of rare earth and battery metals, geothermal,
CCUS (blue hydrogen) and green hydrogen hubs.
Richard Bennett Chairman of Getech commented:
"With our renewed focus on assembling a Board designed to
diversify across multiple industries involved in the energy
transition, we are delighted to welcome Emma to the Board of Getech
and we look forward to working closely with her. Emma's significant
ESG expertise, entrepreneurial background and her experience
working for one of the world's largest public companies will be of
enormous value to Getech as we continue our ambitious growth
strategy over the months and years to come."
"Following the recent successful equity fundraising, Getech's
strategy continues to target ambitious sustainable growth and the
Company is ensuring that it has the necessary skills to support our
current customers and add value to new ones. By bringing Emma's
extensive cleantech and renewable energy expertise into the fold
our offering is strengthened further."
"I would also like to express both my personal and Getech's
gratitude to Chris Flavell for his support and dedication to the
Company's development over the previous 6 years. Chris's expertise
and support have been crucial over the period of his involvement in
the Company."
