Glencore appoints Anglo American’s ex-boss Carroll to board By Reuters

(Reuters) – Swiss commodities trader Glencore (LON:GLEN) said on Tuesday it had appointed Cynthia Carroll, the former chief executive officer of London-based miner Anglo American (LON:AAL), to its board of directors.

Carroll, who led Anglo American for more than five years until she stepped down in 2013, will join Glencore’s board immediately as an independent non-executive director.

The appointment follows report of Glencore’s long-time boss, Ivan Glasenberg, stepping down later this year to be replaced by Gary Nagle, head of coal assets at the mining and trading group.

A geologist by training, New Jersey-born Carroll moved from the aluminium industry to become the first non-South African, the first woman and the first outsider to take the top job at Anglo in 2007. (https://reut.rs/3jbsQeZ)

She is currently a non-executive director at Hitachi, Baker Hughes and Pembina Pipeline.
