LONDON (Alliance News) - Steel & mining company Evraz PLC said Wednesday it has appointed the former senior vice president of Enterprise Products Holdings LLC to its board.
Laurie Argo joins Evraz with immediate effect as an independent non-executive director. She replaces Karl Gruber, who has stepped down, as a member of the Evraz audit committee.
Argo is also the former chief executive officer and president of OTLP GP LLC. Evraz said the appointment of Argo improved its diversity in line with a government report that recommended the appointment of more women to company boards.
"Her presence on the board increases its expertise across both the industry and our geographic regions, as well as improving the board's diversity in line with the recommendations of the report by Lord Davies and Evraz's diversity policy," said Chairman Alexander Abramov.
Shares in Evraz were closed up 0.5% at 556.60 pence on Wednesday.
