Bobby Godsell Retires as CEO at AngloGold Ashanti
The Chairman of AngloGold Ashanti, Russell Edey, this morning announced that Bobby
Godsell would be retiring from the company and the board with effect from 30 September
2007. Mr Godsell was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Gold and Uranium Division of
Anglo American in July 1995 and Chief Executive Officer of AngloGold Ashanti in April 1998.
The company simultaneously announced the appointment of Mark Cutifani as Mr Godsell’s
successor. Mr Cutifani currently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer at CVRD Inco
where he has responsibility for CVRD Inco’s global nickel business. He will take up his new
position in mid-September.
Commenting on the announcement, Russell Edey said, “The board and management of
AngloGold Ashanti are very fortunate to have had the benefits of Bobby’s inspiration,
leadership and innovative flair for the past 12 years. I have no doubt that he will continue to
make a contribution to South Africa in whatever course he chooses now to follow. We believe
that Mark Cutifani is a person well-suited to meet the challenges which face AngloGold
Ashanti and the gold industry at large”.
Bobby Godsell said today, “It is the right time to change leaders. In Mark Cutifani, a mining
engineer with a wide and impressive track record of both operating and executive experience
across a range of minerals, including gold, and on several continents, we have a new leader
who brings exactly the qualities and experience needed for AngloGold Ashanti’s new chapter.
“For my own part, after 34 years in corporate life I am looking forward to exploring new ways
of being a constructive citizen of my country.”
Appointment of Neville Nicolau as Sole Chief Operating Officer
Additionally, Mr Edey today announced that Roberto Carvalho Silva, after a long and
impressive career with this company and its predecessor, spanning more than three decades,
has decided to leave AngloGold Ashanti in September. The board and management wish him
well in his future pursuits. Neville Nicolau will become the Chief Operating Officer of the
company with responsibility for all operations. Mr Carvalho Silva will assist Mr Nicolau in the
consolidation of the two operating regions, which will commence as soon as possible.
