Alcan has announced that it is reviewing succession options related to the departure of Cynthia Carroll, currently Senior Vice President of Alcan Inc. and President of the Company's Primary Metal business group. Effective mid-January 2007, Ms. Carroll will be joining Anglo American plc to become Chief Executive Officer. A successor is expected to be announced by year-end and the business will continue reporting to her in the interim.
"Cynthia has played a key role in Alcan's growth and development as well as its merger integration activities," said Dick Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alcan Inc. "On behalf of the entire Alcan family, I wish to thank her for her contribution and wish her every success in her new role," he added.
"Alcan has built substantial depth and management capability in its team and as such, we expect to be in a position to name a successor before Cynthia departs at year-end. I have every confidence that the strong team in place will continue to deliver on our attractive pipeline of primary metal growth projects," Evans added.
