Acacia appoints interim chair ahead of Dushnisky’s departure
Gold miner Acacia Mining has appointed independent nonexecutive director Rachel English as interim chairperson of the board, effective September 1.
Outgoing chairperson Kelvin Dushnisky has tendered his resignation, effective August 31, following his resignation as president and CEO of Acacia’s parent company Barrick Gold Corporation.
He will join AngloGold Ashanti as CEO and executive director, effective September 1.
Acacia will, in due course, make an announcement about a permanent appointment to the role of chairperson.
English is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and has held senior positions in BG Group and Royal Dutch Shell, with responsibilities spanning finance, corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and business development.
She began her career at PricewaterhouseCoopers and, subsequently, worked for the World Bank Group and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, where she was involved in policy development and lending operations.
“It is a privilege to be accepting the position of interim chairperson of the board of Acacia. In this role, I will continue to work with my fellow directors to seek to advance the company in the interests of all of its stakeholders over the long term,” English commented.
Acacia’s board now comprises an interim chairperson, one executive director, three independent nonexecutive directors and one Barrick nominee nonexecutive director.
