Anglo American has appointed Matt Walker as chief executive of its marketing business following Peter Whitcutt's decision to leave the group after 33 years of service.
Walker will assume his new position and join Anglo American's Executive Leadership Team effective December 1, 2023.
He joined Anglo American's finance team in 2007 and has served as group head of corporate finance since 2021, after serving as group treasurer for three years. He has served in a variety of top financial and other positions with Anglo American, notably as the chief financial officer of the copper company in Chile.
“I am delighted that Matt will be joining our Executive Leadership Team as CEO of our Marketing business – an increasingly important value driver for Anglo American as our primary interface with our major industrial customers,” said Anglo chief executive Duncan Wanblad.
“Matt’s financial and commercial experience gained across both corporate and business roles stands him in excellent stead to continue to develop our Marketing platform to match our wider strategic ambitions for Anglo American.”
