ANGLO-GOLD Ashanti Ltd. appointed Maria Ramos as chairwoman to replace Sipho Pityana, who resigned just three months after Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Dushnisky quit.
Ramos, 61, is former CEO of South African bank Absa Group Ltd. and previously served as director-general of the nation’s Treasury. She’s been a director at AngloGold since May 2019 and also sits on the board of Public Investment Corp., the continent’s largest money manager and one of miner’s top investors.
“Ramos brings to the role exceptional experience in leadership roles across both the private and public sectors,” AngloGold said in a statement.
Ramos takes over as chairwoman of the world’s No. 3 gold miner six months after Pityana was re-elected to his position in June. That comes after Christine Ramon became interim CEO in September as Dushnisky quit two years into the job to be closer to his family in Toronto, according to AngloGold.
