Anglo American PLC - London-based mining company - Appoints Matt Walker as chief executive officer of its Marketing business. This following Peter Whitcutt’s decision to step down after 33 years with Anglo American. Says Walker will take up his new role and join Anglo American’s executive leadership team, with effect from December 1. Walker joined Anglo American in 2007 and has served as group head of corporate finance since 2021, following three years as group treasurer. He has held a number of senior finance and other roles across Anglo American, including as CFO of the copper business 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,’ Anglo American Chief Executive Duncan Wanblad says. ‘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.’
