Kinross announces changes to senior leadership structure
April 16 2019 - 9:00AM
Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K; NYSE: KGC) (“Kinross”) today
announced changes to its senior leadership structure. The Company
is streamlining its senior leadership team, with Lauren Roberts,
Senior Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer, and Gina
Jardine, Senior Vice-President, Human Resources, leaving the
Company by mutual agreement. Paul Tomory will now be Executive
Vice-President and Chief Technical Officer and broaden his
portfolio to take on leadership of regional operations.
“With the goal of increasing efficiency and cost
management, we have streamlined our senior leadership team to
ensure we are well positioned to continue delivering on our
commitments and building value for the future,” said J. Paul
Rollinson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Paul Tomory, who
led the successful completion of the Tasiast Phase One expansion,
and development of our project pipeline and strategic business
optimization, will assume additional responsibility for regional
operations. I am confident Paul will continue to maintain the
excellent safety and operational track records that we hold as core
Company strengths and deliver on our project development
goals.”
The Senior Vice-Presidents of the Company’s
three operating regions – the Americas, Russia and West Africa –
will also have increased accountability for the operational success
of their respective regions, in particular, safety, cash flow,
production and costs.
“On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank
Lauren and Gina for their significant contributions to Kinross,”
said Mr. Rollinson. “During his long and successful career at
Kinross, Lauren was a relentless champion of safety and delivered
many accomplishments, including achieving our annual production and
cost guidance over the past two years. He provided strong
operational leadership and was instrumental in the success of our
sites across all regions, from permitting, operations and closure.
As head of HR, Gina strategically advanced our approach to talent,
executive development and succession. She provided strong
leadership to our HR functions across Kinross and headed the
development of our culture and employee engagement through the
launch of our People Commitments. I wish both Lauren and Gina the
very best in their next roles.”
The Kinross senior leadership team now includes:
Paul Rollinson, President and CEO; Geoff Gold, Executive
Vice-President, Corporate Development and External Relations, and
Chief Legal Officer; Paul Tomory, Executive-Vice President and
Chief Technical Officer; and Andrea Freeborough, Senior
Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. Human Resources has
been re-structured to align more closely with operations and
corporate responsibilities.
To support the streamlined senior leadership
team, the Company is pleased to announce that it has created a
leadership advisory team that will consist of experienced Kinross
leaders with diverse perspectives and functional expertise to
provide direct input and insight on organizational issues,
corporate strategy and key business decisions.
“The leadership advisory team is indicative of
the deep and talented bench strength at Kinross,” said Mr.
Rollinson. “By formalizing this team, we are leveraging our talent
and expertise to increase operational effectiveness, transparency,
and communication between all aspects of the business so we are
better equipped to make and implement decisions quickly and
successfully without adding another reporting structure
layer.”
The strategic functions represented in the
leadership advisory team includes safety and sustainability,
technical services, operations, exploration, finance,
legal/compliance, human resources, government relations, investor
relations and corporate development. For more information on
