Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg to retire,
to be succeeded by Gary Nagle
Glencore plc announces that Ivan Glasenberg will retire as CEO
and as a member of the Glencore Board during the first half of
2021. Gary Nagle will then become the Glencore CEO and join the
Board. Mr Nagle intends to relocate from Australia to Switzerland
early next year and will work with Mr Glasenberg to effect the
transition.
Commenting on the succession process, Tony Hayward, Chairman
said:
"The Board has worked with Ivan over the past two years to
oversee a seamless transition to the next generation of leadership
across Glencore's business. The fact that each department has
promoted from within the Group is a credit to the work done to
ensure there is strength in depth. Gary Nagle has held senior roles
in coal and ferroalloys in Colombia, South Africa and Australia. He
has been on the Board's radar for more than several years and was
selected following a succession process overseen by the Board. We
are confident that he has the right skill set and qualities to lead
the Glencore of tomorrow."
Commenting on Mr Glasenberg, Tony Hayward, Chairman said:
"I have known Ivan for over 15 years, working closely with him
as a Director for the last nine years. What he has achieved is
unique. His vision created two of the world's largest mining
companies - Glencore and Xstrata.
"With the support of his partners, Ivan understood the
importance of creating a long-term asset base to underpin
Glencore's leading marketing franchise. The IPO in 2011 provided
the catalyst to re-unite Glencore with Xstrata, the mining business
that Glencore had founded and financed.
"Each step in the evolution of the business has been informed by
the needs of the customer and reflected the changing dynamics of
the global environment and commodity markets. Underpinning all this
is Ivan's simple mantra of value over volume.
"His work ethic and dedication to the company and its employees
has inspired a loyalty that is rare in business.
"As Ivan hands over to Gary, he does so at a time of huge
change. As the world moves to recover from the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic, while also addressing the challenge of climate
change, our industry has a significant opportunity to contribute to
the economic recovery by providing commodities essential to the
transition to a low-carbon economy.
"Glencore and its portfolio of future facing commodities is
uniquely positioned to meet the needs of today and the demands of
tomorrow. The benchmark by which any great CEO can be judged is
whether he or she leaves the business in a better position than
when they started. Not only has Ivan achieved this with Glencore,
but his vision and drive have left a lasting impact on the industry
as a whole."
Ivan Glasenberg said:
"I am proud of the great company that we have built. Together,
we have created one of the world's largest diversified miners and
marketers of commodities. Today, our diversified portfolio uniquely
positions us to play an essential role in the global transition to
a low-carbon economy. I have worked with Gary since he joined the
company twenty years ago. I have always regarded it as a critical
part of my job to develop the next generation of leadership at
Glencore and I am proud of the strong leadership team that we
developed from which we were able to select Gary. I am confident
that his leadership, along with the support of the management team,
will enable Glencore to take advantage of the opportunities that
lie ahead and be a strong custodian for my shareholding in the
company."
Gary Nagle said:
"I am grateful for the trust placed in me by the Board and
honoured to be appointed CEO at such an exciting time for Glencore.
We will continue to deliver value to our shareholders, while
operating safely and responsibly."
