AMG Critical Materials Strengthens Leadership Team for Future
Leadership Changes at AMG Critical Materials N.V.
AMG Critical Materials N.V. (“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) is poised for a significant transformation as the Supervisory Board convened to discuss leadership strategies aimed at reinforcing the executive team. During a historic meeting, the board reached a unanimous decision to propose pivotal changes during the upcoming General Meeting of Shareholders.
Continuity with New Leadership
One of the key highlights is the commitment of Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch, the current CEO and Chairman of the Management Board, to extend his term for another two years. His profound leadership experience has been instrumental in steering AMG through its transformative journey. Joining him are Michael Connor as Chief Corporate Development Officer and Jackson Dunckel, the Chief Financial Officer, who has played a crucial role at AMG since 2016.
Recognition of Contributions
As part of the upcoming transitions, Mr. Eric Jackson will complete his tenure as Chief Operating Officer at the annual general meeting. Having been part of AMG since its establishment in 2006, Mr. Jackson's wealth of knowledge and experience has significantly contributed to AMG’s successes. As he steps away from the board, he has agreed to serve as a senior advisor, ensuring his invaluable insights continue to benefit the organization.
New Executive Team Structure
The Management Board's effectiveness will be enhanced by the addition of three seasoned Executive Vice Presidents. Michele Fischer, now heading Human Resources, has a rich history with the company since 2014 and has most recently led investor relations. Juri Abbatantuono, known for his strategic insights, joined AMG in 2017 and has since guided numerous major capital projects. Ludo Mees, with a long-standing association with AMG since its inception, will take over the critical legal, compliance, and corporate governance roles, succeeding Dr. Michael Witzel.
Strategic Vision for AMG
These leadership adjustments align with AMG's overarching mission to facilitate the production of critical materials to support a more sustainable, low-carbon future. The company is dedicated to advancing technologies that reduce carbon emissions, particularly through its development of energy storage solutions like lithium and vanadium, critical for modern energy systems.
Advancing Carbon Reduction Agenda
AMG is not just a leader in lithium production but also pioneers in recycling vanadium from oil refining residues. The company’s technologies span various applications, from aerospace to energy storage, and aim to minimize the carbon footprint for both suppliers and clients. The commitment to sustainability is evident in AMG’s organic growth strategy across its core segments, notably in lithium and vanadium.
A Glimpse into Future Plans
As AMG prepares for the Annual General Meeting, scheduled to provide more comprehensive insights and updates on strategic initiatives, stakeholders can anticipate detailed information regarding voting matters that will be disclosed ahead of the meeting.
