Acacia appoints COO
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Tanzania-focused Acacia Mining has appointed Michelle Ash COO.
Ash, who would be based in Dar es Salaam, joined Acacia as executive GM of business improvement and planning in October 2013 and had more than 20 years of experience within the mining and manufacturing industries across a range of senior roles, including head of alliance planning and coordination for the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance and GM of strategy for MMG.
In addition to her existing responsibilities, Ash was currently acting GM of Acacia’s Bulyanhulu mine, but would relinquish this role in the coming months when a new mine GM was appointed.
“I am delighted that Michelle will be taking on the role of COO within Acacia. I feel that now is the appropriate time to split the role of CEO and COO to continue to embed and enhance the changes we have made since 2013 and Michelle’s technical expertise, people skills and energy make her a natural choice for the role.
“She has already made a significant contribution to the evolution of the company over the past 18 months and I look forward to working closely with her as we seek to become a lowest cost quartile producer and realise the significant potential of our mines and our people,” commented CEO Brad Gordon.
