Noreen Doyle Appointed Chair of Newmont’s Board of Directors
Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM) (Newmont or the Company) announced that Noreen Doyle was appointed to succeed Vincent Calarco as Chair of Newmont’s Board of Directors. Mr. Calarco will continue as a Newmont Director and work closely with Ms. Doyle to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
Ms. Doyle has been a Director with the Company since 2005 and previously served as Vice Chair and head of the Board’s Audit Committee. Ms. Doyle’s experience includes top executive leadership roles at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and board leadership roles, including as Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director of the Board of Credit Suisse.
