About
Alberto’s executive experience includes leadership roles across the mining, petroleum, and energy sectors.
He was appointed CEO of Orica in May 2015 and had been a Board member of the company since 2013. He stepped down in February 2021, a year later than planned as he agreed to lead the company through the initial part of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alberto was an executive with the world’s leading diversified mining company, BHP. During his time with BHP, Alberto held a number of key leadership positions, including Group Executive and Chief Executive Aluminium, Nickel and Corporate Development from 2011 to 2013, Group Executive and Chief Commercial Officer (2007 – 2011, with responsibility for acquisitions and divestments, marketing, supply and information management) and President Diamonds and Specialty Products (2006 – 2007).
Alberto’s track record provides him direct experience in several of AngloGold Ashanti’s operating geographies. His leadership of BHP Billiton’s aluminium business, which had smelters in South Africa and Mozambique, gives him excellent working knowledge of South Africa and its economic and political landscape.
Alberto was also Chief Executive Officer from 2002 to 2006 at CerrejĂłn Coal Company, an integrated thermal coal mine in his home country of Colombia, and at the Colombian oil company, Ecopetrol, from 1999 to 2002.
Prior to this, Alberto held senior leadership positions in the International Monetary Fund and the Colombian government and has been a Board member of a range of private, public and non-government organisations.
