Thelma Chuakay has been named managing director of Umicore Precious Metals Canada and Umicore Precious Metals USA.
Her appointment comes following the news her predecessor, Thomas Jansseune, has been promoted to head the mergers and acquisitions team at Umicore’s parent company in Brussels.
“I am very proud of the progress our team has been able to make [over the last two years],” Jansseune said.
“We’ve achieved significant investments in our technical capabilities, certifications for quality, safety, and the environment, and the launch of new products such as our Butterfly recycled gold. I am, therefore, also grateful to all of our customers who have helped us grow our business over the years.”
Chuakay is a 30-year veteran of the Markham, Ont.-based company, and was head of its finance department.
“Her knowledge of the industry, together with her years of experience, will ensure the continued growth and profitability of both companies in the many markets they serve,” Jansseune added
