JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed, West Africa-focused diamond development company Stellar Diamonds announced in a statement on Tuesday that it had appointed Liviu Meran a nonexecutive director on its board, while James Campbell was stepping down from his position as nonexecutive director.
Meran, 36, is a Romanian national who holds a bachelor’s degree in trade economy and a master’s degree in marketing from the Academy of Economic Studies, in Bucharest.
He previously worked as a senior treasury accountant at metallurgical and nonferrous metals company CUPROM from 2005 to 2008 and as CFO at drilling and exploration services provider SC Foradex SA from 2008 to 2010.
