In developing a strategy that places renewed emphasis on safety, productivity improvement
and enhanced shareholder value, new CEO Mark Cutifani has initiated a management
restructuring in which operational reporting will be brought one step closer to the CEO. The
company will be moving to a regional operating structure in which there will be three operating
heads reporting directly to the CEO, resulting in the Chief Operating Officer structure being
redundant with immediate effect.
