Andromeda Metals Limited Announces Executive Changes
Director, will transition to Executive Director, Sales and Marketing, and Robert (Bob) Katsiouleris has been appointed as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), with both changes anticipated to occur in April this year. These changes both strengthen and broaden leadership capability, enabling increased focus on marketing of Great White products internationally, and support delivery of Andromeda's business plans over the medium to long term. With global travel restrictions now largely lifted, the Board together with Mr. Marsh have determined that now is the appropriate time to implement these management changes to increase Andromeda's marketing activities in global markets, enhance focus on securing further offtake agreements and accelerate future expansion plans. The Board also identified an opportunity to appoint a Managing Director and CEO with extensive international experience in industrial minerals and strong commercial skills. The Board's global search focused on securing a high-calibre and suitably experienced executive across international mineral markets. Accordingly, the Board is pleased to have secured Robert (Bob) Katsiouleris as Managing Director and CEO. He is a Greek Canadian citizen who has extensive experience as an executive leading numerous global mineral businesses, has a Bachelor of Engineering from McGill University and an MBA
from Pepperdine University. Early in his career Mr. Katsiouleris worked in construction and operational leadership roles in the industrial minerals sector at World Minerals (now Imerys), a leading international industrial minerals company. During this time, he was involved in all aspects of building processing plants in China and Chile, then moving onto ultimately managing all of the company's North American operations. He then pivoted to a commercial, sales and marketing focus, spending almost 10 years as an executive with Rio Tinto including 5 years in the industrial minerals division, before moving to Europe in senior commercial executive roles with Nyrstar, Vale and Rusal. Mr. Katsiouleris has over 25 years of operational and commercial experience in industrial minerals and base metals, with an emphasis on improving profitability from mine to market. He has a particular focus on adding value through developing and implementing an industrial marketing model thatcreates uplift in a business by understanding the balance between mine to market, and market to mine.
