RAPAPORT... Anglo American, the parent company of De Beers, has
appointed industry outsider Stuart Chambers as chairman, the company announced
Wednesday.
Chambers is a former chairman of UK-based technology group
ARM Holdings and consumer-packaging firm Rexam, and has also served as a
non-executive director at engineering company Smiths Group and British
supermarket chain Tesco. Additionally, he has held senior roles at Nippon Sheet
Glass, Mars Corporation and Shell, where he started his career as a chemical
engineer.
He will join Anglo American’s board on September 1 as a
non-executive director and chairman-designate, before taking on the position in
full on November 1. He succeeds John Parker, who will step down as chairman after
eight years in the role.
“Stuart’s breadth of global executive experience, in
addition to chairing two FTSE 100 companies and serving on the board of several
other international companies across the industrial, logistics and consumer
sectors over the last 15 years, stands him in excellent stead,” Parker said.
