Randgold appoints former Côte d’Ivoire energy Minister to board
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed Randgold Resources has appointed Safiatou Francoise Ba-N'Daw as an independent nonexecutive director with effect from March 1.
Ba-N’Daw was educated in Côte d’Ivoire, France and the US and she holds an MBA from Harvard University.
After a 12-year career with the World Bank as a senior financial specialist for the South Asia region, she was appointed Minister of Energy in Côte d’Ivoire, a position she held until 2000. She, subsequently, worked as a director of the United Nations Development Programme for South-South Cooperation until 2004, when she was appointed deputy chief of staff to the Prime Minister of Côte d’Ivoire.
She was currently managing partner of international business and financial consulting services company Alizes Consultants and deputy chairperson of UK-based mining, oil and gas exploration and services company Niger Omega.
Randgold chairperson Christopher Coleman said Ba-N’Daw’s appointment formed part of the ongoing succession planning of the board.
“We are very pleased to welcome Safiatou Ba-N’Daw to the Randgold board, which will benefit from her significant knowledge and wide-ranging international experience,” he added.
Randgold operates five mines in Africa – three in Mali and one each in Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was developing the Massawa project in Senegal and had a portfolio of exploration projects in West and Central Africa.
